Cape Xxx Colony, 31st.March,1910.

This is to certify that Mr. 1. B. Drake, Assoc. M. Ins.C.E., late Deputy Borough Engineer and Surveyor to the Corporation of Richmond (Surrey) England, was in July, 1901, selected from a large number of candidates for the appointment of Town Engineer to the Municipal Council of Mowbray in the Cape Peninsula, Cape Colony, and that for the last sight and a half years (8)) he has held office under this Council in the above capacity. On account of the continuance of the very severe depression which has prevailed in the Colony during the past three years, necessitating a continued policy of rigorous Municipal retrenchment, and a complete postponement of cons- -tructional works in the Town Engineer's Department, the founcil has with regret, and very reluctantly resolved to abolish

the office of Town Engineer, and to dispense with the services of a gentleman of Mr. Drake's ability, qualifications and

remuneration.

The constructional works designed and car« -ried out by Mr. Drake under this Council have been of a very important, and up-to-date character involving great expenditure, and include the erection of twenty Workmen's Dwellings: main streets widening schemes: the kerbing, channeling, paving and metalling of a large number of new streets, roads and footways, together with the apportionment of cost to owners. The survey,

and measurement for, the plotting and preparation of a complete detailed Town Plan of the Municipality to a scale of 44 feet to

the inch: the laying out, drainage and formation of the Rhodes' Recreation Ground: a foul water draipage scheme for the Rondebosch and Howbray Cottage Hospital: the initiation and

completion of a scheme for lighting ¤ the Municipality with

Incandescent Gas: and a main schame of Stormwater Water Drainage

for the whole Municipality, in addition to many other works

of
