Patea breakwater is 1200 feet long,, and the "amount'' expended on ‘construction, salaries, &c., since July ’77, is £13,887.. : Present depth on ordinary spring tides. Sir John Coode estimated'that by carrying’the breakwater 400 feet further, out (one-third longer than at present), a depth of 16 feet.at ordinary spring tides will be attained, under unfavorable circumstances. This contemplates much better results ,as being probable ; and the depth attained at the present length of 1200 is'greater than was expected. ! iThe cost so far has been very much less than the first Distance's. —Waverley is 9 miles from Patea by railway 1 route, as compared^with 30 miles: to Wanganui. .
