Recommendations'.—I would therefore recommend that 1t powers of the Local Board should extend over the whole pari in all matters that regard public works of a permanent kind, the filling up of offensive pools, ditches, and stagnant pone maintaining the roads, the pavements, and constructing of propj drains, sewers, reservoirs, &c That the college and its precincts, having already drainoi lighted, and supplied water at its own cost, should be still p mitted to regulate all appertaining thereto, and constitute a se rate district, exempted from any payment to the Local Board these accounts, but that the Local Board may receive the ben, arising from the wealth and intelligence of the inhabitants of I college and its precincts, it would be advisable to increase number to twelve, six of whom might be elected by the rate pay of the town, and six by the other rate payers of the parish. I have the honour to be, My Lords and Gentlemen, Yours most obediently, Edward Cresy London : Printed by William Clowks and Sons, Stamford t For Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
