17. Although Mr. COOPER, since his arrival in the Colony, has been devoting a large portion of his time to the study of our local conditions with a view to the adoption of the best system of public main-drainage to be devised for the city, the vast amount of detail which had to be mastered by him before he could arrive at definite conclusions, has made it impossible to place his Report before the Governor at an earlier date. The delay, however, is not to be regretted, as it has enabled a very complete investigation to be made into a matter which is all important to the health of the community, and in this connexion, I deem it my agreeable duty to bring to the notice of His Excellency the very thorough manner in which Mr. COOPER has carried out this preliminary portion of his work.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
J. M. PRICE,
Surveyor General.
