prevent the cleansing and the removal of the slop being carried out
continuously.

The Committee adopted the Report and the Board, upon the
recommendation of the Committee, directed that the suggestions
contained therein should be carried out.
SCAVENGING AND REPAIRS OF UNPAVED ROADS.
In accordance with the directions of the Board I submitted a
Report upon the question of what arrangements it was advisable
to make with regard to the scavenging and the repairs of the
unpaved roads in the District. The following is a copy of such
Report:—
Gentlemen,
I have given careful consideration to the subject referred
to me, and beg to report as follows:—
(1) I am of opinion that the labour employed for Scavenging
should be kept distinct from the labour employed in
repairing unpaved Hauls. The latter work, 1 suggest,
should in future bo superintended by the Clerk of
Works instead of by the Superintendent of Cleansing
and Watering as at present. This will relievo the
Superintendent of a great deal of work, and the time
saved he can devote to his proper duty, viz.:— the
Cleansing and Watering.
(2) I am strongly of opinion, that the existing arrangements
for Cleansing and Watering, should bo continued under
the same system which has hitherto been adopted, i.e.,
one Superintendent, one Ganger for each District, and
the necessary men for performing the work.
