Report of Committee on Public Works
Brunswick, Ga, Dec. 81, 1910.
Hon. Mayor and Council,
Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen: Your committee begs to
report that the expenditures in this
department during the past year
have exceeded the appropriation, both
in the ordinary or maintenance de-
partment and the extraordinary ex-
penses, or tetterments and improve
ments. This could hardly have been
avoided, owing to the fact that it is
not always possible to estimate accU-
rately the cost of the various improve
ments undertaken, and works of an
emergency nature which occur from
time to time
The city engineers report gives
complete details of the expenditures
and the nature of the improvements
made Respectfully submitted,
L. Ludwig,
Vice Chairman.
Geo. n. Cook.

to report that we have operated the
department during the past year for
a great deal less tan it's appropriG,
ton, there being an unexpended pal
ance of about $3.50, and also the $500
special appropriation for the erection
of keepers house in Palmetto GEM
etery. There is urgent need of this
house. and we trust that another year

ton.
We have purchased additional land

have been perfected, this plot will be
opened up for use. Respectfully sub
mitted.
