THE CALLIOPE DOCK.

Report by the Consulting Bngi

neer.

At the meeting of the Harbour Board this afternoon, the following report by Mr W. W. Wardell, of Sydney, on (he pro. posed Graving Dock at Calliope Point, was read :— "Bell's Chambers, 129, Pitt-street, Sydney, July 27, 1883. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge your letter dated 30th June,lßß3,instructing tne'to examine a report on the plans and specifications pre pared by Mr McDonald, the Engineer for the proposed Calliope Graving Dock at Auckland, and oil other matters mentioned in your letter, and I beg to inform you that I have given my best attention to the question referred to me, and report as follows:

"Gknbeal Scheme,—As to the general scheme, I think it would be very de*irabe that the Board should consider carefully how far it may be well to modify it to the extent of making tbe total length of the Dock, to comprise two divisions, of such lengths each aa tho experience, of tbe mem bets of the Board and their Engineer sug gest, as that of the class of ships most likely to use the Dock. Dividing trie total length, has at least the advantages of ad mitting a greater economy in working, affording facility for accommodating two ships at once, and for allowing the outside ship to be removed without disturbing the other.

" The proposed length of 500 feet seems to be beyond ordinary necessities, and if any exceptional demand arose, the double length could be made available. "Assuming (for the sake of argument only) it is desired to make provision fora veisel of 500 or GOO feet in leugth, it would a false economy to do so in one length, as the probabilities are that the Dock would te used fifty times by vessels of smaller lengths (say up to 350 or 400 feet) to onco by auy oi greater lengths, and the expense of pumping out the unnecessary length of the Dock would be a very large addition to the annual chan.es. If, on a review of the question, the Board concur in jny opinion that it i 3 desirable to divide tbe length, the proper course would be to finish the inner end of the length they determine to erect now with a sliding caisson and camber ; and the addi tion could then be made at any future time without interruption to the business of the Dock ; otherwise a dam would have to be erected across the end, which would re duce the length ot the outer division while the construction of the extonsion inwards was being carried on. COFFER-DAM. — I have examined the design for the coffer-dam, and 1 think no exception can be taken to it, if the Board desire to become responsible for what is simply a piece of scaffolding for the con tractor's use, forming no part of the structure of the Dock, and which would probably be built by contractor at ales 3 cost to himself (and therefore ultimately to the Board) if he were left, to do it himself. Moreover, it would be very difficult, if in deed possible, to protect the Board for liability in case of failure if the officers of the Board were in any way to dictate aa to the manner of its construction. I there fore advise that the contractor should be left to erect his own coffer-dam, and be bound to maintain i' in good working order, find on completion to remove it and all debris arising therefrom—the design, con struction, and maintenance of it being at his sole risk, and on his sole re sponsibility, I would also advise that no advances or payment of any kind on ac count of It should bo madß to the con. tractor, but as it will form a large item of expenditure in his working pant, the Board might, I think, return him some part of the sum I presume he will be re quired to deposit as a security for the due performance of his contract in, say, two months after it has been completed aud pumped out,and kept dry for that period.to the Engineer's satisfaction. Foundations.—The Bottom on which the Dock is to bo built, Mr McDonald has explained to me, is perfectly solid and secure, but as I have no personal know ledge of it, I cannot express any opinion beyond that if Mr McDonald's report of it is correct (as I have no doubt it is), there is no occasion for anticipating any difficulty with it as a bearing foundation.

Excavations, Conckete Walls, Masonry, ac—On the subject of the ex cavations and the concrete walls, I would advise that -the sections should be re-con sidered, I tbink. the excavations should be benched out to level tables of good widths, and the floor ot the excavation should be made much broader, so as to give a better baso to the general construction, I would also advise the use of clay puddle, say 10 or 12 inches in thickness, between the hack of all the walls and the sides of the excavation. The puddle to be butlt nfpari passv with tbc walls, and thoroughly panned in between them and the excava tion. With respect to the question as to whether Portland cement or Mahurangi lime should be used for the concrete, 1 do not feel justified in advising any other material than Portland cement below high water line. Judging from Mr McDonald's report, I would have no hesitation ia using the lime above high-water mark, but I do not gather that sufficient experience has yet been had of its behaviour under water for a time long enough to warrant its adoption in so important a work as this. The material is, however, evidently so valu. able and so important to the colony that I would.recommend that contractors be asked to give alternative prices in their tenders (at per yard cube) for using it instead of Portland cement, and between the present time and that for using the material oppor tunity would be afforded for makiog such farther experments as would enable you to determine whether it could be adopted with confidence. I desire to say expressly that I do not see any reason to doubt its value, but only that the evidence to make that value certain is as yet hardly com plete. The altars, masonry, &c, are in my opinion skilfully arranged and well designed; bat however well-designed, too much importance cannot be attached to the absolute necessity of the most careful supervision of the execution of this and all other parts of the construction, for untrust worthy workmen or careless inspection may, in works of this nature, cause its destruc tion, and I would therefore nrgently advise that no consideration of economy should be allowed to interfere with the provision of the most ample Inspection. When the works are progressing, there will be full employment for three of the best and moat reliable inspectors you can find to represent the Engineer, and every detail both of work and material should be narrowly and in cessantly watched and duly reported on, "SUNDEIKS.—KeeI blocks three feet apart, stairs', etc., were reported on, ".CAISSON.MACHINKEY.&C— I think you have been perfectly well advised as to the class ot caisson that should be adopted, and I also quite concur with Mr McDonald's suggestion that the caisson and pumping machinery should be designed and made|in England and erected complete on the site n Auckland, In Melbourne, the error was committed of carrying out these works there, and. the result was that the caisson end machinery cost very much more than they otharwise would have done. For the new dock In Sydney, they have very wisely decided that these shall be made as well as designed in England, and I have no doubt the most satisfac'ory and econo mical resalts will be obtained. New in ventions and improvements in machine works of every kind are being daily made in Europe, with which in the colonies we cannot keep pace, and it would be a great misfortune not to get the advantaged them. The Consulting Engineer in London for the New Zealand Government, or some pro fessional engineer there, would probably be bent able to select the firms to wiiom it would be safe to apply for traders, and in instructing him as to what would be re quired, it would be necessaiy for you to forward: (1) A general plan of the "Dock, showing also the site of the engine-house, (2) Two transverse sections of the body of the Dock. (3) Plan and sections of the caisson chambers. (4) Plans and sections of the pump and we)), draining and discharge culverts. (5) Plan and section of the entrance showing high and low water. He should be especially enjoined as to the time you would be ■williog to allow for emptying the dock, which I would suggest should be five hours when there was no vessel in it, and I think you should state that you desire two engines to be provided of 50 nominal hoise power each at least; but as much more power than that as he thinks necessary for working the pumps ; anci that they should ba horizontal and coupled so that one engine could be worked at pleasure to drive the workshop machinery. I would suggest that there should be two boilers on the Cornish principle with Gallo way's tubes behind fire bridge, and that the pumps should be centrifugal. The caisson or caissons to be eliding and of wrought iron, and fitted with sluice valves, pumps, andVall necessary gear, and made reversible. It should be pointed out to him, however, that'you do not intend to fetter his judg ment as to how these things are to be done, but that he is to t»esi«n specify, and ob am tenders for the supply aud erection of

whatever may be necessary for the pur' posea of the pumping machinery, caissoni engine, boilers, sluice valves, and every J thing else required for closing, emptying, ; and filling the Dock effectively; and for directing their working, and main- I taining them in perfect working , order for six months after they are completed to the satisfaction of your Engineer— the Boar |iupplyinjs[fuel, labour} »nd material for all such workiup under the contractor's direction, but not for any works ot maintenance or repair. ", In conclusion, I beg to congratulate the Board on the extent and admirable scope of this general scheme, as well as on the designs Mr McDonald baa produced for giving effect to it, and it is a pleasure to me to be able to express my general concurrence with these designs subject to the modifications I have sug gested in the preceding report, which I have now the honour to submit for yonr consideration. — I have, &c, W. W. Wabdhll. C.E.M., Inst. C.E." Test of Lime and Scoria.—Appended was the following report on a test of Mahu rangi lime and scoria-ash at Morts Dock and .Engineering Company :—" Mr W. Wardell : Sir,—The concrete block you sent us was tested to-day with the follow ing result, viz. : Size of block, 4 x 3} square, by about 1 g thick; superficial area, 15 square inches; area of hydraulic ram, 73diameter, 47 square inches ; cement broke and crocked at 371bs on the square inch, or total 17,7191b5., or l,lßllbs. on the square inch of cement; and at1,6921bp < on the square inch of cement, the cement was reduced to powder.—J.

IMPORTANT SCHEME.

Proj)osed JNew Railway Outlet From the City.

The following important communication was laid before the Harbour Board at its meeting this afternoon :-" Q.ueen-atreet, Auckland, August 18 : Sir, — With this letter I submit a plan of the suburbs of Auckland, showing both sides of the harbour, with a reclamation wall and embankment from Shelly Beach to Orakci Basin, whereon it is proposed to construct the Main Southern Trunk .Kail way to connect with present line at Penrose junction. The embankment is to be three chains in width, which would give ample room for two lines of railway and a carriage road, to junction with the Hemuera lioad at a point near Mason's garden. Should your Board approve of this idea, the Engineer could be in structed to prepare the necessary correct plans and date for the Board's consideration,, I am of opinion that the Government will assist to carry out the scheme, as, they require a better outlet from the city than the present high grade through the tunnel, for their large and increasing traffic I on the Waikato line, while the tunnel wou'd still be used for the Newmarket and .Northern line Should this scheme becarricd into effect, the harbour endowments would be greatly increased in value, and a large portion of the land so reclaimed could be immediately and profitably utilized, it' you will give the matter your consideration, and lay it before the Board at an aarly op portunity, I will be ohligcd.—Yours, &c., T. Mobbin." The letter wa3 refeired to the Works and Tariff Committee.

[BY TELEGRAPH,-OWN RBPORTHR.] Mr Dargavllle's Charges, The Select Committee to enquire into the charge made by Mr Dargaville, met this mornlog. Mr Dargaville was present by ie quest. Portions of the speech to which the committee took excep tion were read, and the Chairman asked Mr Dargaville if he had any explana tion to offer. Mr Liargaville stated that he certainly did intend to impute political corruption; that he would stand by that and prove it out of the mouths of witnesses if an opportunity were given him. So far as imputations of personal dishonesty were concerned, he was surprised that the Committee could come to any such finding, because it was neither his intention to make such imputation, nor did he believe his words could be to misconstrued. The Committee appeared to accept this declaration with reference to the charge of personal dishonesty, and, as the matter now stands, the only question to be dealt with is the charge of political corruption, which Mr Dargaville expresses his intention of standing by. Ihe Lands Act Amendment Bill. Ihe Hou?e in Committee, engaged in worrying to death the land question, ad journed at one this morning, leaving eight clauses In the Land|Acts Amendtnentßill to be dealt with. Auckland Questions To-day. The following questions of interest to local readers are to be asked to-day, Mr Tole is to ask the Minister for Public Works if his has been drawn to the resolutions passed recently by the resi dents in aud about Epsom District at a public meeting, complaining of the con dition of the Epsom-OQehunga tfoad, and it he will take steps to render that road, especially at Bird Grove, safe for public traffic. fcir George Grey is to ask, have any facilities for leasing lands from the natives at Wairakau, or in the vicinity of Te Aroha, been given to any person by Government by removing any restrictions against leasing without the consent cf the Governor or otherwise ?; if so, to whom have such facili ties been granted ? and what are names and extent of such blocks of land ? Mr Taiaroa is to ask if Government will cause to be surveyed all those parcels of land described in the schedule to the Te Awamutu Native Commonage Bill. Mr Moss is to ask if Government are aware that Messrs Hesketh and Richmond, Auckland, hare given to the Kotorna Leaseholders Defence Association an elaborate legal opinion, dated the 27th July last, to the effect that " the leases issued by Government are void, and that the lessees should refuse to pay any more rent;" and if so, what steps they propose taking with reference to said leaseo, and to the respective interests of leaseholders and of native owners for whom the Government assumed agency; also what steps they propose to take for the recovery of large sums of public money expended by Gov ernment on the lands referred to. Mr Hutchison is to ask the Minister for Immigration whether he will not think it his duty in the interests of the colony, in tending immigrants to take steps that an official report descriptive of the soil and general capabilities of Patetere block should be circulated in England, where an effort is now being made to induce persons to invest in the same. General Business. The four first orders of the day are : Second readiog of the Counties Act, 1876, Amendment, and Native Committees Bill, Native laad Laws Amendment, and Lands Acts Amendment in Committe ; these will probably occupy the chief portion of to-day's sitting
