The Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of Nineteen thousand Nine hundred and Eighty Dollars, ($19,980), for the Peak Water Supply.

The materials for this work having arrived too late last year and the work could not be commenced before this year, the vote for 1890 was not expended, and a re-vote is now required.
