be all the public require at present. In this road, I have much cause to regret that the wooden bridges thereon, four in number, were also added to and repaired under directions of the flank of Works acting for me during my absence. He frequently alluded to the necessity of dispensing with all wooden bridges, wherever it was practicable, of which I was aware that such a construction should not have been advised. The road was partly formed by subscription of the inhabitants of the city, and it being much wanted by them for their summer drive, was the cause of the erection of wooden bridges instead of stone, which would have occupied a longer period, and thus the road could not have been opened so soon, or the public derive so much benefit as they did, during the season.
There is another road I have frequently alluded to, which would be of great advantage, and a great boon to the public, if constructed - viz:- that from the Albany Godowns to the Hougueichung Valley, to avoid the Gaps. This with the roads already constructed, would make drives during the summer here most agreeable and healthful during the excessive heat of the season.
Other works of importance referred to in my last Report, I presume it is unnecessary for me to recommend again, as the same cause which deferred their construction then, exists at the present time.
I have, &c.
