4:1

After my return from England in the end of last year, I found no step yet taken for this necessary Service, and with Mr. Syall, I put a forcible minute on record.

6. Sir John Bowring was then (January 1859) absent in Manila, and the acting Governor, Colonel Caine, authorized the immediate application of the money voted by Parliament. The work has since progressed. I mention these facts to show that the large sum (£5,000) set down for this service should have been expended long ago, and cannot longer be dispensed with.

Similarly, with the Water Supply. The suffering of this Community in the months of April, May, and June last, were really serious, and the point should have been energetically taken up years ago, especially as it has formed the subject of frequent representations from the Surveyor General's Department.
