f one m 33 to beyond the present wharf. I* then has a level sfcraight of three or four chains to the new wharf. This slants off from the shore at an angle of abont 30 cleg, down to the river for a length f 140 feet, for which distance it ia 24 feet broad; it then takes a direction parallel with the stream for another 90 feet. This ia the main portion of the wharf, and the width is here 40 feet, with a large shed or store, through which the line passes, in the middle of it? By this means the level is brought down to within six or seven feet of high water mark and a large amount of additional accomodation for the shipping is obtained. Should this plan be adopted there w ill be room for five or six moderate coasters to lie alongside together. laside the pro posed structure and about mid-day between high and low water marks is the timber incline for hauling up largo logs. For this purpose it is proposed to use a sunken truck over which the logs will be floated and then allowed to eefctle on if; as the tide falls. The cost of this scheme is its best recommendation. While the Stewart's Flat project Is calculated to cost £15,000. this idea will merely require £2,250 to carry it into being. Its principal objection at a fh*sfc view is the steep gradient whicWsuggests the thought of trucks getting loose and rushing madly into the river, but no doubt an effective system of breaks will reduce this danger to minimum. Messrs Mcleod have committed their de sign to Mr J. S. Maeffarlane the member for Waitemata, and that gentleman has under taken to bring it before the House.
