thel believe these works, undertaken and directed in
4bi 111401/er which I have stated, will be highly service-
able to the communes which shall consent to exe-

the most beneficial influence to the clearing of
Waste lands. It is, in fact, necessary that
Bitch land, before being brought under cultivation,

Should ind a shelter for the workmen, and there is no

doubt that the communes will add considerably to the
value of these lands, which may be turned to apcuunt in
the production of articles of substatence.
I hope you will exert yourselves to induce the corn-
of your province, p sessed of unproductive nds,
to adopt the proposals of Government, and that you
411 not neglect any means which may contribute to
facilitate the realisation of the necessary funds. I re-
'en, as soon as possible, an account of what yon have
