Annual Repairs .—The Annual Repairs were of the usual description.
A contract for Scavenging and Watering the roads was entered into, and
the work was executed during the first few months satisfactorily; but at the
end of 1860 the Municipal Commissioners were obliged to terminate the
contract, owing to the very inefficient manner in which it was being carried
