ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PROVINCIAL ENGINEER ON PUBLIC WORKS EXECUTED DURING THE PAST YEAR.
Provincial Engineer's Office,
Nelson, 13th April, 1868.
To the Provincial Secretary,
Nelson.
SIR,—I have the honor to forward, for the information of His Honor the Superintendent, my Annual Report on the Public Works executed, or being executed, in the several Districts of the Province during the past year. I shall commence with—
NELSON AND ITS VICINITY.
Nelson.
Government Buildings.—The contract for painting and sanding the whole of the Government Buildings and Court House has been completed in a very satisfactory manner by the contractor, Mr. Louisson. It was, however, found necessary to give one coat of paint more than specified to the front and eastern side of the main building, in order to make a thoroughly good job. This and the repairs which had been effected previously have made the buildings much more water-tight than before, although in storms of rain there are still a few places, as I anticipated, which are leaky. The slate roof has also been thoroughly overhauled and repaired.
Police Station.—This building, which was proposed in my last year's report, as being necessary to give increased accommodation in office room and the number of cells, has been erected under contract by Messrs. Moore and Conway, and could very soon be made ready for occupation. The vote, however, has been exceeded in completing the work as far as it has gone, and it will require an additional sum to make it complete. The adjoining yard should be well fenced, and the surface of the ground levelled and covered with clean shingle. Some internal fittings will also be needed. It has been erected on the site of the old Government Offices in the Depot.
