As far as the Inner Harbour is concerned, the dredging of the outer approach channel is the crux of the situation. The channel designed by Cullen and Keele (see Exhibit 21, page 5) is to have a bottom width of 600 ft. and to give a depth of 35 ft. at low water. The Napier Harbour Board's Plan A (Commission's Exhibit 3), issued in 1919, shows this depth as 34 ft. Taking points along the centre-line, the depth of dredging required and the length of channel are as follows :— fromEMof Depth to Depth to fronfKof Depth to Depth to Eastern Mole. obtain 34 ft. obtain 35 ft.
