The sewerage of Victoria will be an annual charge as
long as the city continues to spread, I think the expenditure after
1898 might go against revenue, as well as further expenditure on
waterworks and drainage, especially as the revenue from water will
continue to increase, and can with the approval of the Legislative
Council be set aside for this special purpose.
