Extension of the sea wall at North Point. Contract No. 218 of 1947.-This Contract called for the construction of 400 lin. feet of rubble mound foundation and 300 feet of sea walling. Work commenced on the 23rd September, 1947, but progressed so slowly that the work was taken out of the contractor's hands in February, 1948, when approximately 25 per cent. of the work had been done. Contract No. 18 of 1948 was let for its completion and satisfactory progress was maintained to the end of the period under review. Preliminary work was well advanced at the end of the year and plans and estimates were submitted to Government for the completion of the whole of the protective works for this reclamation now urgently required, owing to the large area reclaimed being now unprotected.
