Since the opening of wharf tke thing occurs therefand here I would urge upon the Government the necessity tor an extension of the wharf round Point of at least 900 ft in length, which would only on 30mmodat . lon for three vessels; and even then[ ot work > aud the extension tL™! 1 .

There still remains to be dredged a narrow strip of mud close to the new wharf, which the dredger could snoon m w’ l P ur P osed doinf with the spoon, but the doskey engine was more urgently nf q rvf 6 £r° r pi f drivin 8 finish the cross wharf at Dunedin, and was token away for that purpose ?v^aJi may meiltlo nthat the work of discharging the upper berth on the north side of the Bowen Pier is interrupted on the arrival of the tram, and of which'the shipmaster bitterly complains.
