will be

settling tank, 30 feet in diameter, and 16 feet deep.

The tanks will rest on firm solid ground. Foundations of any kind being made and footings required: they will be made in England, in sections: the workmanship will be unusually good, and the joints being truly paired.

There will be a clear space of 12 feet between each tank.

The petroleum will be brought out here in specially constructed steamers, which will arrive alongside a wharf (to be constructed hereafter) opposite the site, and the oil will be pumped direct from the steamers (by steam pumps carried by the steamers) through iron pipes into the respective tanks.

The tanks will, in addition to their ordinary covering of plates, be still further protected by having a strong galvanized iron shed erected over them, protecting them from the sun and rain.

The oil will also be taken in iron pipes by gravitation from the tanks to a "filling shed" in which the casks, etc., will be filled as refined.

The situation of the site on which it is proposed to erect these tanks is, I venture to think, suitable for the purpose.

The tanks will be riveted together by experienced European mechanics sent out for the special purpose, thereby avoiding all leakage.
