There are probably many other report* ami suggestion* oi lh;s an-l kindreil subjects, bit T essay to mention only those that have be,n handed me by Mr bw - drett Town Cleik. t which weie otherwi« kno\rn to me. Tbo uext report is by Fir John Ooode, dated August, 1879, an ergmeer of eminence who made a flying vis:t to the Site when-going round the colony. His report ' ia also confined to the improvement of tic upper harbor where he says -the ol.jeei Sought to be obtaine I is the creatio:i of such »n additional depth in the cha_nl leading np to the "town jetty as will give 9 feet at low water spring tides, equivalent to 1 < £ at. Ligu waterspringand 15feet at hi.'h water ncips. He then proposes a channel and training bank' Th« channel bottom having a width of 100 'feet, which ••ouM be widened nt any future time to 150 feet. In the deepening of "ti,e,cbanue.l he counts on tbe BCOun "P ftWH -T by turrents one fourth of the quantity of mud $hnwn in the section. The tn ining b.mk ho proposes to extend to 3000 feet on the eastern side of the chan nel , , The co^t of channel and training bank he estimate* at JE41.2U0. He proposes at the name tin.en jetty extension of 400 feet: coM. £10,400. The to'al cost of proposed v.orks thus be ing £51,0 0. To the " forcgoinsr recommendations he makes the followin'p important remarks, viz. '"that -it has be-n nseumed there is a depth of not less than 9 feet at, low water spring tides. in the fair-way of the present channel be tween the fen «n«l the pool.
