The estimated cost of constructing the portion of the scheme shewn coloured pink on Drawing No. 4 if carried out continuously, including the cost of dredging, amounts to $9,405,000.00 for which sum a total length of 4,100 feet of steamer berthage, having depths of 34 and 36 feet of water alongside at L.W.O.S.T., with the necessary accommoda- tion for junks and other small craft can be provided. Apportioning this sum over the length of steamer berthage, it is equivalent to a unit cost of $2,294 per lineal foot.
