Eyemouth Harbour. 



Work on this Improvement Scheme, for the deepening of the entrance 

 channel of the harbour by the removal of rock, was suspended in 1916 

 on account of the war, and has not yet been resumed. Differences have 

 'arisen between the Contractor and the Trustees in connection with the 

 contract. 



The Trustees have made apphcation to the Treasury for financial 

 assistance to enable them to remove a considerable quantity of silt which 

 has accumulated in the harbour, and this apphcation is at present under 

 the consideration of the Development Commissioners and the Board. 



Fraserburgh Harbour. 



Progress on the Improvement Scheme has remained in suspense during 

 the current year.
