I per square foot in the estimate now submitted.

To summarize the matter, the proposed scheme now will give a supply of over half a million gallons per day, which it is anticipated will be fully required within a few years after the works have been completed.

I therefore submit that the entire scheme be now undertaken, and that I be authorized to call for tenders for the contingent works, the estimated cost of which, including materials to be supplied by the Government, is $505,000. The balance of the estimated cost is absorbed by the mains, service reservoirs, &c., which will be let under separate contracts.

It is of great imperative that the works should be undertaken without delay and that the present dry season should be availed of to the greatest extent possible.

I have the honour to be,

Your obedient Servant,

W. Chatham,

Ag. Director of Public Works.
