GOVERNMENT NOTICE.—No. 348, 1878.
Office of the Commissioner of Crown Lands and
Public Works, 29th April, 1878.

With reference to the above notice, it is now
hereby further notified that the tower is in all
respects completed and ready for the reception of
the apparatus; that a fracture having occurred to
certain portions of the latter during transport, the
expected exhibition of the light was unavoidably
delayed.

Mariners and others are now informed that the
light will almost certainly be exhibited about on
and after the 15th June next, 1878; and that the
tower already is a conspicuous available day-mark.

JOHN LAING,
Commissioner of Crown Lands
