£12,810 is for Public Works and Education. The principal variations in the Estimates for 1855 and 1856 are:

Under Roads, Streets, and Bridges £7650.

Works and Buildings.

Education.

£4500.

Net Increase of Estimate for 1856 - £13,272.11.8

71. The principal cause of the large increase under Roads, etc., is the projected New Road from Victoria to Stanley on the South side of the Island, which it is thought will prove a most desirable resort during the best months.

72. The thorough repair of the road round the Island has been recommended by a Committee lately appointed by His Excellency, the Governor, and for which sum of £500 has been included in the Estimate.

73. I think it must be agreed that the Roads have been so much neglected, as also that they have not been constructed so as to admit of their being used for carriages, particularly the Road from West Point to Aberdeen.

74. The other principal item under Roads is £1000 on account of formation of New Streets and Drains in localities lately opened by the Sale of Land, and for which necessary purpose other sums will yet be required; the money laid out for that purpose will soon repay itself with good interest, and more substantially.
