Item No. 1 covers the 1st. and 2nd. and part of the 4th. items in K. Gibbs' original scheme, no comparison is however possible, the site, height, and material of the main dam having been changed on the recommendation of Mr. Chadwick and Mr. Ornsby.

Item No. 3 shows a considerable increase above the original scheme, the size of the main having been increased to allow for the reduced head caused by altering the site of dam.

Item No. 4 is for Filter Beds more than twice the size of those originally contemplated.

In the other items the increase is due to the general rise of prices that has taken place since Mr. Gibbs' report was written.

We have etc.,
