Description of Scheme.

In April, 1923, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire made application for additional berth- ing accommodation to the extent of 1,200 feet to the north of Messrs. Alfred Holt & Co.'s present wharfage. The south-west portion of the Scheme shewn coloured light pink and cross-hatched in darker pink on Drawings Nos. 3 and 4 will allow for extending, by 80 feet, the present berthage, making Holt's East Wharf 550 feet in length. Extending in a northerly direction, a length of 1,300 feet of additional wharfage, having a depth of 34 feet of water alongside at L.W.O.S.T., may be constructed and for the purpose of erecting "transit warehouses" contiguous with the wharfage, sufficient area of land can be provided by reclamation.

With regard to the principal portion of the scheme shewn coloured pink and yellow, it is proposed to reclaim areas adjoining the railway reclamation and to project from the new reclamation three jetties in an easterly direction. These jetties together with a quay wall protecting the northern area of new reclamation form a ship basin 1,200 feet long and 400 feet wide, having berthage 2,400 feet in length with a depth of 34 feet (or if required 36 feet) of water alongside at L.W.O.S.T. and two junk basins 160 feet wide, having berthage of about 4,240 feet in length, with a depth of 12 feet of water alongside. The Southern area of the new reclamation will be protected by a quay wall 1,200 feet in length with a depth of 34 feet of water, in continuation of which Jetty No. 1 having the same depth of water on its south side and 12 feet on its north side extends for a distance of 1,250 feet. The continuation of this jetty in a north-easterly direction provides on its south-east side 900 feet of berthage and on its north-west side
