Your committee not concurrlng IN the
views or the majority, submits the lolloW-
ing minority report
The opportunities for investigation, were
necessarily limited, both FOR lack OF time,
and the means we had Tor making the m
spectlon. We have therefore TO a great
extent, been compelled to conilne our at
tcntion TO such places as were pointed out
to us, and TO information we could gather
from sources, we considered reliable our
inspection was first made in westerly
and southwestery direction. and within
an area of 3s4 miles from the city, which
took in the Dundee canal Ielfair swamp,
Telfair place, and the Ogeechee canaLand
Springfield plantation. The two latter
points not coming within the jurisdiction
Of the county commissioners. We hnd
large number Of bitches belonging 90 the
county oVergrOwn in weeds, and badly In
need OF cleaning. notably, the Vale Royal,
and its laterals, which we are reliably IN
formed. have not been cleaned for seven
teen months. similar condition exists in
the McAlpin canal. also the lateral ditch
which passes tSrOusn, what Is known as
the Houston land. The Dundee canal from
the Augusta road, 10 the Louisville road,
is also overgrown in weeds, ana should be
cleaned out This canal has never been fin
ished and Is one OF the important works
yet to be done, draining as ii will all the
swamps lying between the Augusta ana
Louisville roads ana beyond. The Tcltalr
swamp. which Us tributary OF the MUS
grove, has never been drained. From its
ncafncss TO the city y should be attended
TO Immediately. The Telfair place whlch
was once rice held' we understand in
rainy weather. that much OF me iahd rs
