[Read before the Royal Society of N. S. Wales, September 5, 1906. | 
WiTHOUT preamble I place before you the following state- 
ments as being axiomatic; and the plan and sections 
annexed as sufficient for any patriotic New South Wales- 
man to thoroughly grasp the situation and see that the 
railway and eastern quay of Port Sydney are wanted by 
the city, now; and the rest of the work at an early date 
by the State and the continent. 
1. The wharfage accommodation of Sydney is inadequate 
to the immediate future requirements of the State. 
2. That lengthening and dredging existing wharves and 
berths in sites tortuous of approach and already 
crowded by ferries will only increase the congestion.
