we are spending considerable sums of
money avd our roads are not getting any
better. Ilfis honor from VPrinee County
(Mr. Lord) alludes to the farmers in the
diflerent municipalities ia Canada mak-
ing up large sums of mouey to assist in

it has been drawn up by meu of practical
:Jexperience, though I am sorry that they
have takea such a view, and made such
recommendations as they have. Iam of
Jopinion thata Board of Works would be
,{founnd entirely too cumbersome, One
stefficient Ollicer for a supervisor would
be much better. It has been thought by
ov the Island or import it, but the difi-
culty is to raise the money to got the
stone applied. Before we ean expect
any great improvement in the roads,
there must be a heavy expenditure, aud
no doubt, the people in the vicinity of
the Towns will receive the greatest bene-
fit from it; but if I have the honor of a
seat here I will pot give way to those
little selfish views, and I have no doubt
but justice will be done to all pirts of
the country. If the members for this
part of the Is'and choose to expend large
sums in the Maeadamization of roads,
it would be ouly reasonable to give us,
brought to a close last evening, when the
remarks made were fresh upon our
minds, but as some time has intervened,
perhaps wa will now speak with greater
deliberation. The Committee have very
1 ttle cause to complainas to the criti-|
cism of their Report, but still, some re-)
marks which have been made, require a
little explanation, and perhaps something
more, The remarks of his honor from
the city, (Mr. Palmer,) have reterenee
chiefly to the Macadimazation of roads

quite impracticable to carry out all the
recommendations in the report for a year
ortwo, We should confive ourselves to
miking the greatest improvement we |
can at the least possible expense. The |
report contemplates procurivg a loan)
ployment of a Civil Mogineer, and J re-
gret that the finances of the Colony are
uot such as to warrant us in engaging
one. I have taken some paing to ascer-
tain what the amount of such a person’s
salary would be, and I find that one can-
not be permanently engaged at less than
£250 a year, together with other inet

soft for places where there is much traf-

import stone ‘Thea, his honor from the
| First District of «Queev’s County, (Mr.
Balderston) said, it I understood him
aright, that more labor would be obtain-

have takea such a view, and made such
recommendations as they have. Iam of
Jopinion thata Board of Works would be
,{founnd entirely too cumbersome, One
stefficient Ollicer for a supervisor would
be much better. It has been thought by
ov the Island or import it, but the difi-
culty is to raise the money to got the
stone applied. Before we ean expect
any great improvement in the roads,
there must be a heavy expenditure, aud
no doubt, the people in the vicinity of
the Towns will receive the greatest bene-
fit from it; but if I have the honor of a
seat here I will pot give way to those
little selfish views, and I have no doubt
but justice will be done to all pirts of
the country. If the members for this
part of the Is'and choose to expend large
sums in the Maeadamization of roads,
it would be ouly reasonable to give us,

remarks made were fresh upon our
minds, but as some time has intervened,
perhaps wa will now speak with greater
deliberation. The Committee have very

marks which have been made, require a
little explanation, and perhaps something
more, The remarks of his honor from
