as affecting the progress and prosperity

Having been associated with and actively engaged upon the large works carried out during the period of greatest development in the Colony's history, the revenue having increased from $2,611,857 in 1890 to $4,202,587.12 I claim to have special knowledge of the requirements with regard to future developments.

I am well acquainted with the wants and peculiarities of the large Chinese community and have already submitted to His Excellency Sir Henry Blake, G.C.M.G., a proposal for improving the housing accommodation for the working class of which it is so largely composed.

Prior to entering the Colonial Service I had 14 years' experience as an Assistant in various Engineers' offices and in charge of works and my training was of a varied description, including a good deal of Dock and Harbour work, which is of great benefit to me in my present position.

I append the following enclosures which are copies:
