drains as possible, to pass by one large out- 
_ fall to the sea, instead of discharging them, 
as heretofore, through several small ineffec- 
tual channels, widely distant from. one an- 
other, will permanently prove and establish 
its superiority ; for, in the Jatter cases, the 
out-lets, continually silting and choaking up, | 
occasioned infinite mischief and expense, 
whereas, upon the present plan, the great 
body of water always } keeps the course clear, 
and the lands secure, at a trifling charge. 
Phere is an improv ement of this ieind in con- 
templation, by six or seven parishes, between 
_ Alford and Saltfleet, which are now drained 
through three or four different sluices, but 
which may, with great facility, unite and 
_ pass their waters through one sluice, and this 
must evidently be attended with very great 
advantage to all, but, more particularly, to 
two of those parishes, (Theddlethorpe and 
Mablethorpe,) which will, at Jittle or no 
expense, in the first instance, obtain a much 
better fall for their waters, and, for ever af- 
terwards, be. relieved from, perhaps two- 
thirds of the charges that would otherwise 
be continually incurred, from the insufli- 
ciency of their present "works of drainage. 
Thus itis clear, that the combination of mea- 
sures so essential to the improvement of the 
low lands, cannot be too much encouraged, 
nor too speesily adopted.
