this, and I trust that it may be found possible to repeat the grant now suggested in the Estimate of 1877.

I should however state that the Sewerage of Victoria - however much the system may be amended will never be placed on a satisfactory footing until an increased supply of water be obtained for the dilution of the sewage.

In recommending these improvements I do not propose to initiate any particular scheme, for I think that with certain alterations our present drainage system may be eventually made to work well; my object is limited to improving the direction, gradient, and shape of sewers, to increasing their ventilation and to rendering them accessible by manholes, and innocuous to the Public by trapping all gas escapes.
