 any required works shall be executed, and giving an esti- 

 mate of the sums necessary both for the execution of the 

 work and for compensating any persons who may suffer 

 loss thereby; and that he shall also state the portion 

 thereof that ought to be charged upon the lands of each

 of improvement to be effected therein. We propose that 

 the report shall be delivered to the clerk of the local Com-

 circulated through the district, and who shall transmit 

 copies of it to each of the local Commissioners, and also a 

 copy to the Board of Improvement ; that the local Com- 

 missioners do give notice that they will, at a certain time, 

 hold a sessions for the purpose of inquiring, by the aid of 

 a jury, into the matter of the report, and to make present-

 the Commissioners and jury, after full inquiry, do make 

 due presentment in the premises, and that they be author-

 Commission. 



We recommend that, at the close of each sessions, the 

 local Commissioners and jury, or the major part of them, 

 shall sign their presentments in duplicate, and shall cause 

 them to be read in open court, and that one part be kept 

 by their clerk and the other transmitted to the Board of 

 Improvement. 



We recommend that the Commissioners be armed with 

 powers to carry the presentments made as aforesaid into 

 execution, and to levy rates for the purpose as hereinafter 

 mentioned. But we also recommend that any party ob-
