Appendices to Thirty-fifth Annual Report 



Stonehaven Harbour. — The Improvement Scheme at this harbour, which 

 inchides the deepening of the outer basin and the strengthening and repair 

 of the Old !N"orth Pier, has been completed, with the exception of the 

 concrete roadway of the landward section. On completion of certain 

 repairs and underpinning that were necessary for the stability of the pier, 

 payment of the final instalment of the loan, amounting to £2000, was made 

 to the Trustees from the Development Fuiid. 



Fraserburgh Harbour. — Work on this Improvement Scheme has been 

 practically suspended this year from lack of funds, and the Harbour 

 Trustees have made application to the Development Commissioners for 

 further financial assistance. 



Further damage was done by storms to the wave traps in Burnett Pier 

 and to Bajaclava Breakwater. The breach in the latter structure has been 

 repaired with concrete. 



^s'o payments were made to the Harbour Trustees during the year from 

 the Development Fund. 



Gardenstoivn Harbour. — The extension of the East Pier is almost com- 

 pleted, the only parts still remaining to be done being the lighthouse tower 

 and a portion of the concrete decking. The demolition of the West Break- 

 water is practically finished, and repairs have been carried out on existing 

 works when the weather was unfavourable for work on the East Pier. 



Payment of an instalment of the grant, amounting to .£500, was made 

 this year to the Harbour Trustees from the Development Fund. 



Macduff Harbour. — Good progress still continues to be made on this 

 Improvement Scheme. The outer sea wall of the breakwater which 

 encloses the new harbour basin has been completed, and the parapet wall 

 has been constructed on top of it for a length of about 780 feet. The 

 foundation of the inner wall has been prepared for a considerable distance, 

 and about 1500 square yards of concrete roadway have been laid. During 

 the year 12,685 cubic yards of rock and 1774 cubic yards of soft material 

 have been excavated from the area of the new basin, the rock being drilled 

 by pneumatic tools and displaced by explosives. 



Payments amounting to £2438, 19s. 2d. from the grant and £3000 

 from the loan were made this year to the Trustees from the Development 

 Fund. 



Banff Harbour. — This Improvement Scheme is for the deepening of the 

 existing inner harbour basin and the pointing of the quay walls. ■ Progress 

 has again been exceedingly slow and a proposal has been made by the 

 Trustees to take the work out of the Contractor's hands and complete it 

 departmentally. In all 3750 cubic yards of rock and 3600 cubic yards of 

 soft material have been excavated during the current year. 



Payments amounting to £1248, lis. 8d. were made by the Board 

 towards the cost of the scheme during the year. 



Whitehills Harbour. — Work on this Improvement Scheme is still sus- 

 pended on account of the war. 



Cullen Harbour. — This Improvement Scheme was completed in July, 

 and the Contractor has removed his plant from the site of the works. The 

 Trustees subsequently carried out some minor work under the supervision 

 of their Inspector, including the strengthening of about 80 lineal feet of 

 the West Pier inner wall. 



Payment of a grant of £500 was made by the Board towards the cost 

 of the scheme. 



Portknockie Harbour. — Consideration of this scheme of Harbour Im- 

 provement is still postponed on account of the war.
