ECHOES OF 1859
84 The Surveyor General And The Colonial Secretary
(November 30, 1859).
Soms remarks on the estimates for the ensuing year will be found below. Public works of a sani- tary and
utilitarian nature are sadly, required. Unfortunately of the incumbent of the office Surveyor General is simply an architect, who has been here for who the last Afteen years, and has neither the smallest idea of engineering,
the slightest c.or undertaking scruple in
public works which he has no knowledge whatever of the construction of
is that money
The consequence voted every year is flittered away and no good achieved. The town contains about a hundred thou sand inhabitants including the boat population, and whilst with
1 distance of two or three miles beautiful streams are runn- ing down the hill into the bay still no means, can be devised to divert them into the town, al-
an efficient engineer being em-
ploved, of course under the appre hension of his absurd experiments being officially condemned. The worst of It is that whilst he argues that labour cannot be had to complete most necessary works, he asked and obtained a vote of e large sum of money for pur- poses which are almost, if not quite, superfluous..

MUZZLING ORDER
Dog Owners Fined For Breach.
Mr. Walker appearing on behalf of Mrs. Walker of 4 Broadwood 'Road pleaded not guilty to a-sum- mons for allowing a dog abroad in Broadwood Road without a muzzle. The case came before Mr. B. C. K. Hawkins.

Questioned by Mr. Walker, the constable said he definitely saw the dog in the road.
Mr. Walker said his defence was that the dog was never in the roadway. The pathway leading to the house was not a public thoroughfare; it was a right of way granted by the Government.
The house-boy gave evidence stating that every day, he muzzled the dog, but on that particular Morning he could not find the muzzle. He admitted taking. the dog out unmuzzled and without a Leash, but denied that the dog ever went on the roadway.
Sergeant Whelan interposed to say that the prosecution did not dispute the question of right of
