70. The proposed coal bins are shown on the general plan behind the godowns on the Main What. The principal advantage to be derived from these; would be, that as they are arranged on a definite system, each parcel of coal could be easily kept separate, without the waste of space now necessary for this purpose. The cost of these bins, approximately £80,000, is not included in the estimates given in this Report:

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

73. As mentioned in Clause 68 a wharf should be set aside for ships requiring bunker coal only, and having no cargo to be dealt with. The most suitable position for the carrying on of such operations, is the western end of Borneo Wharf, where bins are shown on the plan, having a capacity of 80,000 tons.

74. Mechanical appliances for discharging coal and for buukering, might not improbably be employed here with advantage. The plant would not be of so complicated a character, as that for the Main Wharf, and would not be hampered by cargo arrangements. Ay, under any circumstances, the wharf will not be ready for such appliances for a considerable period, it will be wise to await and note developments fo this clair of machinery, before settling on any fixed eylem.

THE COST. The estimate of the cost of works is thus sat down.
