Dear Sir,
fusy fall at Marth Point.
With reference te your request for an opinion regarding certain matters in connection with the construct- ion of the Quay Fall at North Point, which is now in progress, I have studied the Contract, Specification and certain of the Contract Drawings, besides visiting the site of the works and beg to submit my opinion on the following pointa:-
(1) The advisability of filling in the trench under the vall below the level of 30.00 with granite rubble instead
of sand.
M
(2) The affect such an alteration would have on the Contract price.
(3) Whether it is advisable to build the superstructure
of the wall immediately the blockwork substructure is

filled with sand, and therefere granite rubble
should be used in place of it.
This conclusion has been arrived at for following
reasons:-
