the work has then been carried out with
the omission of the walls mentioned. AS
the labour force at the disposal of the Pub
lie had been used at the first three stone
drains from Orange Grove, it has been pos
sible to keep down the expenses for these
to Frs. rs, but at the stone-drain at jolly
Hill Frs. 800 will be required, and for the
railing at this stone-drain and for the
stone-drain at Orange Grove Frs. 500, see
the letter of the Chairman of the Road
Commission dated the 28th ult, No. "a,
which will be found on the Councils table.
A grant is then sought of Frs. S76, which
according to what has been here adduced,
will have to be paid by the Colonial Urea
sury.
ad C. By the heavy fall of rain in the
month of December last year, mentioned
under % the bridge at Kingshill was very
considerably damaged
The Government and the Municipal Com
mittee had a similar authorization to re-
pair the bridge as that mentioned under
d. and subsequently, held q meeting with
the Road Commission and the road-holders
in Kings Quarter, at which experts attend
ed by invitation.
The proposal made by the experts for
the repair of the bridge, as set forth in a
communication from the Chairman of the
Road Commission dated % January a. G,
No. rs and 18th ult. No. 20, will be found
on the Councils table. The proposal was
accepted by the Road Commission, with
additions, as will appear from extracts laid
on the Councils table of the proceedings
in the meetings of the 18th ult. and 4th
instant taken from the Commissions Min
ute Book.
The Government and the Municipal
Committee have agreed to the Road Com
missions proposal, the carrying out of
which is estimated to cost FIRES. l 250,
of which, however, it is estimated that
the road-holders will have to meet Frcs.
1900, which will go for filling the bridge
cases and repairing the dams, also the
dwelling of the water-conrse itself under
the bridge.

REMARKS.
By Additional Money Bill of 18th July
1911 to the Budget of 1910-11 there was
granted for the cost of the St. Croix share
of the above work, which was estimated to
cost Frcs: $50, Frcs. 80.
No part Of the grant was used in the
year 191O-l1.
When the work was. being carried out in
the present financial year, it appeared, ac-
cording to the statement of the Building
Inspector, that the cementing in the gal
leries was so bad that patching was not
sufficient to put the galleries in good or
der, and in consequence thereof the eX-
penses were increased to Frcs. 725. SO, the
St. Croix share being FIRES. G67.
The Municipal Committee has recon-
mended the grant.
