In conclusion, he urges that the question has not been disposed of 5 and says that personally he is suffering under a sense of injustice, which he feels so keenly that he is prepared, under certain conditions, to bear the whole expense of a further report, up to an amount of 500 guineas. He proposes that there shall he a single engineer, and one of the conditions is that in the. event of this engineer’s report favoring an extension of the inner harbor, the -whole expense of obtaining the report shall be borne by the Board.
