Your Committee deeply regret to find the finances of the District in a condition so strictly embarrassed, that instead of having funds to devote to the repair of roads and bridges, and ■other urgent and necessary public improvements, further de- mands may be requisite to sustain public credit, and meet the pledged faith of the District. Under such circumstances your Committee beg leave respectfully to urge on the Council the necessity of the strictest economy, and that no new debt, con- tract, or expenditure of any kind, will be made without the fullest investigation, and the clearest evidence of its urgen* cy and necessity. All of which is respectfully submitted. it U (Signed) Ogle R. Gowan, Chaimum^ MiLO McCaroar, MaRTIX CASTLESlANy Jam£s Shaw. Council Chamber, 12th May, 1842. First Report of the Committee on Roade.
