I would draw a distinction in this connection between the works carried out by James Orange, and the Sewerage, drainage and water distribution systems of the City of Victoria carried out by M'IA. Cooper. Both trust officers were specially versed in the respective works and in Consulting Engineer's accent and were attached during their execution, to cope with Public Works Department, the Director of that Department having general control and supervision.
6. With the exception of this tunnel, which I agree with M'A.J. Barry, no great difficulty about the Kowloon and Chatham railway works to be 65 xud to construct, thus are the railway works then have been successfully dealt with by the Public Works Department in carrying out the works mentioned above and in Praya & Reclamation, In my opinion therefore Athos and his staff should be attached to the Public Works Department, under which Authority control the said works shall be carried out, any large question regarding it being referred for advice to the Consulting Engineers by the Director of Public Works. The effect of any proposed arrangement would be quite unnecessary, Change would be the saving of Correspondence, the advantage of the general control and supervision of the Director of Public Works, who has a far better knowledge of Exporting local conditions than the Chief Engineers.
and the better control of the special staff. And as possibility of the blame Government for any proper Execution would undoubtedly be increased but this is better than that there should be some responsibility in the water.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient
humble servant,
Matthew
