The City Surveyor wrote that to widau the road round the river between the Canterbury Boatahed and Windsor terrace, a small piece of the river would have to be taken in, but to preserve the width of the stream it was proposed to widen tiie river* bed on the west siae. . The Engineer to the Board reported favourably on the proposal provided the encroachment did not exceed 10ft, that the width of the water-way was preserved, and no loose stuff was allowed to find its way into the river. The Board approved of the proposal is terms of the Engineer's minute. A petition was presented from the residents on Glandovey and Carey reads, district of Bryndwr, pointing out the great inconvenience they suffered, from want of a drain to carry oft the surface water from their houses and grounds, and they prayed the Board to remedy the trouble.
