Then when the East- ern Reclamation Scheme was conceived by Sir Paul Chater and unanimously concurred in by the Eastern Marine Lotholders ne- gotiations were, we believe, opened with a view to obtain the transfer of the Naval Yard Extension works from their present site so as to give to the Colony one continuous seafront thoroughfare for the whole breadth of the Island-from Kennedy Town on the West to Causeway Bay on the East. The expenditure till then incurred by the Admiralty on their dock scheme had already assumed such proportions, and the advice of their experts prevailing, A. S.
