IV REPORT. 



In the opinion of your Committee, the observations 

 contained in this Report respecting the formation of reser- 

 voirs, dams, and vleys or shallow lakes, for the preservation 

 of water, are deserving of serious consideration ; and if any 

 expenditure on public works is authorized by Parliament, 

 works of this character should occupy a prominent part. 



The Committee, therefore, beg leave to direct the attention 

 of the Council to the further information elicited upon these 

 important subjects by the evidence which they have taken, 

 and to recommend that the same be submitted to His Excel- 

 lency the Governor for his consideration. 



H. T. VIGNE, Chairman.
