advisable to assume at present that the water was raised by

the Dam above 615 0.D.

It would be feasible to adopt the highest level

of 625 0.D. but further works would be involved the extent

of which cannot at present be determined, but it is not

anticipated that these would be of any great magnitude and

would be covered by the estimate given in our previous

report.

In this report, paragraph 64 and 65, two alternative

methods of carrying out the work are dealt with and we would

recommend that the work be carried out by administration,

Sub-contracts being let for various portions of the work

wherever possible.

If there are any other points with

which you wish Mr. Binnie to deal, he would be pleased to do

so by interview.

We have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servants,

(sd.) Alex. Binnie Son & Deacon.
