The Engineer recommends that the "recommendations of The Harbour Board" be transmitted to you as called for. The cost of carrying out this work will be Two hundred and thirty thousand dollars, ($230,000).

Separately, the extent of area reclaimed will be over eleven acres, five of which will fall to the Military Authorities while the Naval Yard will be lengthened by about a quarter of an acre and there's also a quarter of an acre of water area in the shape of a basin.

Annexed is the plan of the proposed embankment and roadway, which has been prepared by Mr. Frise. It will be remembered that Sir John Bowring made some valuable suggestions which were forwarded with the despatch from the Colonial Office No. 111 of August 29, 1876.

It is estimated by the Surveyor General (as stated above) that this important project would cost about forty-five thousand pounds (£45,000), and would take about three years in execution.
