Jules Joubert, Chairman, Parramatta River Steam Co, King Street. They have taken over the unexpired lease from Mr Pritchard, of the wharf at the end of King Street, to land passengers from their steamers. The company has had a larger steamer built and they have found that the space between the piles is too narrow. They want to remove the two outer piles from the north side so that the steamers can come in right up to the steps. There is a note from Edward Bell, the City Engineer that the piles are necessary 'for the protection of the watermen's boats at the Ferry and since the working of these steamers, the Ferry has become very useful and much frequented'. Bell suggests that the piles be retained, and that the steam company drives two more piles on the southern side, to extend its length as far into the river as the adjacent wharves. 'This would answer all the purposes of the Steam Co's and improve the wharf without detriment to the watermen and Ferry'.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
