 were dug, 32 culverts and two bridges were built, 10 miles of road gravelled 

 and Sleeman's Creek cleaned out for one mile to give a good outlet to the water

For the first twelve miles along this road fifty per cent, of the land is low, 

 beyond the twelve miles the road passes through a fine belt of clay land where
