A comparative statement of com of, harbour works, carried out by day labour and by contract, was furnis-hed by the act'ngengiu.er to ihf Auckland Harbonr Board last week. He stated that comparing Freeman"* Bay north wall with the Railway Whaif. the Board's work erst- 4s lid per cubic foot, as against 4s Li per cubic foot at the Railway Wharf. Compared with street Wharf. the Board's work would, of course, show considerably in its favour. Having regard to the difference in the nature of ilh l work, ihe wharf having larger surface to work upon, he was sure tlie result, so far, mijrlit be as satisfactory, and if the Board's work had been of the character of Queen street Wharf it would have (•hewn a very much lower cost. , The "chairman said lie intended to recommend the Board to undertake the construction of the second section of Quw-n fiirc-ef. Wharf in ferro concrete itself, and if ilifBoard decided to do so. it would require soine thousands of tons of cement. Mrs K. Gadd. 307 Madras-st..
