There was a sum of near three millionscollected annually- for
this purpose, and therefore it became it:qui:Co e I hat great toasts
should lie instituted, who would employ skilful engineers to
keep the roads in the necessary repair. The Committee, in re-
commending the doing -away with small trusts, meant to cast
no imputation whatever on the Commisioners. The Hon.
Member, in concluiion, said that he bad no objection to let
the Bill stand over to next Session.
