The

only

serious objection I

to the proposed alteration in the line of

wall is the increased depth of the foundations. The maximum depth below low water level to the hard bottom is 65

and

65 feet,

for a length of about 1100,

feet the depth exceeds 54 feet. But taking into consideration the fact that in the reclamation now

being

- town in front of -

carried out at Kennedy - town in Marine Lok 240 to 246 the maximum depth

to the hard bottom is 601 feet (only four feet less than that met with on the line suggested by Six John Coode) and that other reclamation; have, I understand, been successfully completed in depths but little inferior to the above, it appears to me that the increased.. depth is not invikelf a sufficient, avon for condemuing the proposed alteration. Having now obtained sufficient data on which to base a sound conclusion the main

main question

and the

to be submitted to the Government, lot holder is, I think, the following: Are

the advantages which would undoubtedly

accrue

· from the large additional area of land which would be reclaimed by the modified live of wall sufficient to outweigh the drawbacks of the increased cost, and the lose of time which would result

of time. adoption of the line of wall suggested by Sir John Coode.
