A service estimated at £96. 7. 8. is the construction and improvement of roads, &c. I employed 7,467 men at work to the value of £135. 4. 0., and in the general repairs of some streets in the City 1,038 men at an expenditure of £81. 2. 8., in clearing drains 92 men at £1. 18. 1., and in a variety of miscellaneous services 569 men equal to an expenditure of £11. 17. 3., forming a total estimate for all services performed by the chain gang of £349. 18. 3.

Within the Gaol a far larger number of men was employed at a less remunerative service, though those employed in breaking stones perform most useful work in the preparation of the material for the repair of the streets, which are fast increasing in number and require constant attention and expenditure. In breaking stones 13,711 men were employed at 3d. per day, giving the value of the service at £285. 13. 3. Cooks and water carriers, 3,786 men, for the general service of the Gaol, but not effective as far as public works are concerned, £78. 17. 8. Mechanics employed in the manufacture and repair of tools, and such miscellaneous duties as they could execute to the buildings themselves, £31. 15. 2. And in picking oakum 1,724 men were employed, payment for which is arranged by the Sheriff, and by him.
