of oval, so that Drivers of Vehicles could not
attempt to avoid them so closely as st present.
This is one of the matters in which experience is
beneficial, as it becomes a useful guide for the
future.
The Minutes of the Proceedings of the Works
and Improvements Committee, will furnish the
reasons for the execution of most of the matters
referred to in the lists accompanying this Report;

ordered by that Committee, it has been because
they were of such a pressing character as to admit
of no hesitation or delay, which is frequently the
ease, particularly in Sewers Works.
