On the report of the Assistant Commissioner of Public Works, dated 13th instant, stating that considerable progress being made in the work ofthe Landing Piers below (quebec, the Commissioners considered it necessary to send their chief Engineer to examine and report thereon, that after examination that Officer has come to the conclusion that some alteration in the mode of construction of the work generally will be necessary, the cost of which can be covered by a cur tailment of the length of the Piers respectively so that no additional outlay will be required, also in the case of the two Piers Upon the North Share, the chief Engineer reports that an additional width will be indispensable to one and a cross-head to the other. The Commissioners state that they are fully impressed with the importance of both of these changes as well for the security as for the conveniency ofthe Piers, that the cost of carrying them out will be £2509 beyond the amount of appropriation, an expenditure which they believe to be necessary, and as the work is in that state that the proposed changes can just now be most economically and advantageously made, they recommend that authority be given to proceed with them.

The Committee humbly advise that the authority required be granted. Certified.
