THE MODIFICATIONS. The scheme in the fuller report is modified in some measure, but not materially altered. The South Mole is to be 5,500 ft. long, and the East Male 4,000 ft. Both are slightly altered in their direction, the former to allow more space at the southern end of the inner harbour; the latter because of the cheaper cost of con. struction. The greatest modification is made in the West Mole, which is considerably short ened and now is to extend very little beyond the inner end of the fishing stakes off Malay Point, to the west of Fort Palmer. An entirely

joining the Singapore Extension at Mount Dock Co. through the Dork Co.'s premises, and

Narcis. An alternative line would run through the Malay village at the foot of Fort Palmer, and cross Anson and Tanjong Pagar roads east of the Boustead Institute to Mount Narcis. This would be shotter and wholly colonial, while the other would be jointly constructed by the Government and the Dock Company.

A SUMMARY,

(L) The Inner Road, and those portions of the Harbour which are adjacent to the shore, would be sheltered at all times and under ali

conditions of wind and weather.

(2) The necessity for the construction of an independent Boat Harbour would be re-

moved.

(3) The transfer of the traffic, due to the berthage of inter-colonial steamers at a shelter- quay, such as that proposed at Telok Ayer, would greatly relieve the crowded condition of the River.

new portion of the scheme is the construction of an inner South Mole, 4,200 feet long, this forming a barbour within a harbour, the innered basin being 170 acres and being dredged to a depth of to ft. at low water ordinary spring tides. The necessity for this work is thus expressed,

INNER MOLE NECESSARY.-

"We consider that such a work is necessary in order to protect the proposed quay at Telok Ayer from the effect of waves generated within the harbour on the occurrence of streng cast and northeast winds. In the absence of such

projection there would be reason to fear that be sometimes inconvenienced when lying in lighters and the smaller class of steamers might front or in the vicinity of the quay, especially

in view of fact that the intervening space across the harbour, inside the shelter of the south and east moles, would be from a mile to a mile and a half in breadth. The outer moles would afford protection from the northeast monsoon seas, which of course is the quarter from which shelter is most required.”

THE WEST MOLE.

(4) The erection of godowns on the new Reclamation, arranged specially to meet the al tered conditions of traffic, and in close proxim. ity to the steamers, would considerably facilit- ats the handling of cargoes.

(3.) The proposed Quay would be connected with the railway system of the Island and also with Tangjong Pagar,

Likewise the cost of the loner South Mole would be increased as it would be exposed to the full sea stroke.

A study of the tidal currents has caused the shortening of the West Mole, to promote,cir- culation within the harbour to the fullest posed with steamers and craft in the Roads would sible extent, in order to prevent shoaling as far as possible. This will also be aided by the training effect of the Inner Mole and the Quay Wali, beneficially affecting the same from a sanitary point of view as well as minimising the tendency to deposit silt over the areas in question. It is not expected that steamers will take shelter in the Inner Basin, as they would be adequately protected in the outer harbour.

88 ACRES RECLAIMED.

As to the extent of the dredging, that would not be such as to constitute a serious objec tion to the carrying out of the contemplated works.
