his application to that effect should find
cause to exempt him. The Road Inspectors
are appointed for a term of 5 years, ut the
expiration of which they are during Il term
of The same length entitled to exlmp ion
from such charge.
The Chairman of the Road Commission
is salaried with $500 p. a. The Road
Inspectors shall receive a compensation of
S32 p. a. each.
The duties of road officers are to be fixed
and defined 10y instructions issued by the
Superior Authority; which instructions
shall also certain the nee .SSary rules for
the business routine of the Road Commits
sion, tor the election of Members of the
Commission, sc.
In proposing the abOveStated rules con-
corning the control with roads, the Com
mittee has particularly had i'll view to
establish an organisation by which all
questions concerning road wOrk and the
performance thereof are committed to the
decision, not of an Official, but OF a body
Of men, who to a certain extent may be-
considered as the representatives, Of those
parties, on whom the performance of the
road work rests. Such an organisation
will, i'll our opinion, be accepted with
greater satisfaction than that proposed i'll
the Draft, az, eeAbly to which a part OF the
authority which it is here intende to
intruSt to the Road Commission, would be
exercised by a single individual. The
Administration will by the manner in
which the Commission is formed, aud more
particularly thereby. that the appointment
of the Chairman, Who will have to attend
to the administrative duties of the Commits
sion, is tn be made by the Superior Autho-
rlty, obtain sufficient guarantee that the
proper repairing of the roads will not be
neglected and ut he same time it must be
observed, that the very parties, on whom
the road work rests, are themselves most
%interes' ed in having the roads kept in a
good aud proper state. AS Il further qua
ranter to the AdminiStra ion it is proposed
that the Superior Authority shall be en-
powered, if it should become necessary. to
dissolve the Road Commission and to canSe
new appointments of Members OF the
same.
The proposal in s s would cluse an
additional expense of $40 p. a. compared
with the proposal in 5 5 OF the Draft, pro
viied the number of Road InSpec. OrS
remain the same as hitherto.
The Committee thinks that the detailed
rules concerning elections for the Road
Commission, the business routine of the
Commission, etc. ought prope ly to be given
in the Instructions mentioned i'll 5 8.

In the Danish text, 9Th line, the word
"EtablisSementer" to be altered to
"Anlipg."
The Committee admits that at present it
is not possible to effect a complete change
Of system in the way of performing the
Road Work; by giving up the system #
work in kind, the road repairs would i'll
our opinion became much more expensive
than at present; but even if we should be
mistaken in this respect, sufficient eXpe-
rience is at all events still wanting, and the
state of the OlOnial Treasury does not
admit of trying what might perhaps prove
a very costly experiment. The DrafC will
open a possibility, even if not a very great
one, to gain some experience on this p 'inF,
but we do not consider it advisable at
present to go further.
lad s = to be altered to 5 II.
In lines II to %. the words "In the case
49,. circumstances of the case," to be
altered to: The Road WO'k incumbent on
Factories and similar establishments is
fixed by the Superior Authority"
The rule as contained in The Draft is in
our opinion Of too general a nature, and as
the considerations OH which the road work
for the establishments i'll question is to be
assessed, must have a basis quite different
from that on which the assessment for
estates rests according to the rules i'll this
section, the Committee has considered it
best that the decision be lett to the
