Training Nullahs within the built Areas of the City. (C.S.O. H).
The Chairman read several letters from Mr. BABINGTON, Mr. SKELTON and others, requesting that nullahs in the neighbourhood of the houses which they occupied should be trained. He also submitted a small general plan of the City, showing the nullahs which remained to be trained near dwelling houses, and an estimate of the cost of the work, amounting in all to $26,300.
It was unanimously agreed to recommend that the work should be undertaken as early as possi- ble, commencing with the streams in the neighbourhood of the Richmond Road and Macdonnell Road properties, and that a vote should be obtained for whatever sum could be expended by the Public Works Department during the year.
The Committee then adjourned.
Laid before the Legislative Council this 26th day of March, 1902.
