These pools hase in some degree been formed by the making of the new roads which are raised to a higher levai thau the surrounding ground. They will be very much worse when the rainy season set, iv, auth will undoubtedly be a breeding place for large quantities of mosquitors. The tilling in of these pools to the level of the adjoining roads is the only entisfactory course which could be adopted.
