The entire working of the Convicts on the Roads devolved upon myself after the resignation of Mr. Rowden the Road Overseer in May last, as the Civil Engineer and I had to complete a new survey of the entire Town, and in consequence exempted him from other duties; he made preparations for the triangulation and other preliminary services, and had completed some portions of it, but unfortunately he became sick and was unable to give me any data to work from, to enable me to carry on where he had terminated, or lay down the survey on paper from his field notes; I regret very much this circumstance, for so much has been done both Public and private since my own original survey in 1843, that a new map is indispensable; if therefore, circumstances should permit, I shall undertake the task again.
