To briefly recapitulate, the work already dope is cutting off the lagoon from the sea by a cofferdam, preparatory to excavating the sumps partially sunk and progressing rapidly; timbering going in for the east and wes! quay walls; diversion of Keppel-rd. completed as to earth-work (the transfer of the tram lines will follow in due course); cop section of the shore waterways; preliminary work and boring for the new No. 7 section 60 feet long, reaching as far as Jardine's wharf; erection of most of the required plant construction of land waterways to carry off rain fall.
