The Committee considered a plan laid before them by the Acting Director of Public Works for→ The construction of a Road from Plantation Road, Tramway Station, to Magazine Gap.
Total estimated cost, including sewer and water main, $38,000.
It was unanimously agreed that the construction of the Road should be undertaken forthwith at an estimated outlay of $20,000; the concreting of the surface of the road and the laying of a sewer and water main being deferred until some of the building sites rendered available have been sold. It was further recommended that the steepest gradients be reduced, if possible, notwithstanding that the cost of the work might be increased by so doing.
The Committee then adjourned.
WILLIAM CHATHAM,
Chairman.
Laid before the Legislative Council this 23rd day of August, 1897.
