the information now at my disposal, I doubt whether this
would be practicable. An extended and careful soles of
levellings would dose enable ma to determice this point. It
practicable two or three teaks should be constructed on etch
side of the barb tur, tilled with pen st tram, to be opened and
closed by hand (in the seme manner ne rdrus for regulating
water supply), forth. purpom of letting out the sewage during
the early part of the ebb only, and thus ensuring It. being
carried beyond the limit, of the harbour.
"Fulllog this moo. of disposing of the sewage, I see no
alternative but to lay an intercepti g pipe sewer from the
cohort under York Vallee down to near the sod of the Book'
water Bridge, at Little Oeorgeotreet, this sewer to be connected
with the several existing drains along that line.
" Another intercepting lewd should he laid from the end of
C inygar-lane. along the Quay, to an outlet placed just below
Weymouth Bridge, the three first existing drains below the
Bridge on this side of the harbour being conveyed by a short
intercepting rawer to the ante outlet. The other three drabs
to be carried down the face of the Quay in oast iron trunks,
eo that the" may deliver below the lend of the lowed tides.
'On the Weymouth aide an intercepting sewer should he
laid front the corner of the Backwater, near Mr Bolt'. slaughter-
house, with an outlet mayhem below Weymouth Bridge,
connecting with the several existing drains as it panes along.
There will thus be only one Newer outlet above Weymouth
Bridge, instead of 28 as at present; and this one outlet will be
placed molar my different and much more favourable con-
dittoes than them which now exist.
" The drainage 111111 ff the lower part of the High-street and
Cove-row should be taken out and conveyed by another inter-
cepting sewer, having an outlet somewhere about Cove
"The outlets of the four intercepting omen must be all
carried well below the level of low water of the lowest spring
tides.
"I have already said that the principle ef covering the mud
banks with water at all Matti of the dam is sound but never-
theless I should observe that the mode./ cart ying this principle
into effect must be decided vrith much circumspection, for we
hare on the oue hand to provide for the proper diaposal of the
sewage, together with the adding of the objectionable mud
bank*, and on the other to preserve the passage of such a
volume of tidal water through the harbour as !hall ensure the
maintenance of its present
"Having regard to all the of the case, I
would recommeod that an embankment or dam should be
carded arrow the Backwater from the upper and lower and of
the yard adjoining the timber pond occupied by Hamra. Nor-
man and Co., over to the projecting point of shore about 70
yards south of the BLOMMIIe Bridge, on fle western side,
This embankment to be made water tight and to be furnished
with a pair of small gates to edmit of the peanege of barges
or bode. The top or crest of this embankment 'should be
somewhere about the level of high water of the lastest neap
tides. This will Impound
m.
und such a ousatiyoil water as still

cover the bank. in Backwater It all
dicially affecting the lower millet Radipole.
"According to the resmannendations I ham made no sewage
will be delivered Into the impounded area.
"The bed of the Umber pond now occupied by Mr. Bette
and of that IMAM the railway embankment mar the brick-
field, will also be:covered with water. As to the lower Umber
pond, occupied by Yr. Norman, I would recommend that it
should be filled ups. early as practicable, and that an area
should be aneemed by piles and boosuta a mewhere near the
estleting peed by way of mobetltuts
The tide should be excluded from the cornet
between the wart end of the North Quay and the south
end of the Um Watts Quay as speedily se practicable. I

Inspection. I as. led to engem that the Board'. oaken should

to mid) prohibiting the throwing of boom refine of any kind
Into the Manhour and the Backwater.
Toe condition of the wail adjoining tho Backwater, lying
northward of the Portland railway crowing, calls for immoliate
attention, The wail Is becoming rapidly dilapidated, and the

which I would recommend far their adoption. Should it be
