The Harbour Master and I allow for the ad interim repairs the Praya wall.
As Your Lordship is aware, after the great typhoon of 1874, it became necessary to repair the Praya wall along the entire waterfront frontage of the City, and - pending the permission to undertake this comprehensive work on a complete scale, such as that suggested in the Report of the Praya Commission which accompanied Mr. Austin's despatch of the 1st May 1875, ... temporary repairs had to be effected immediately.
Upon receipt of Her Majesty's sanction to carry out the recommendations of the Praya Commission, I have to request Your Lordship's approval of the expenditure of a sum in re-pointing and arranging some of the weakest portions of the walls, before, on the occasion of another typhoon, the risk of destruction to which the temporary nature of the previous repairs render the harbour frontage liable. I think it my duty to inform Your Lordship that calls of this kind will be absolutely necessary from time to time.
