12 J Remarks.
Ir is to be regretted that there cannot be a more particular explanation given of the expenses of the New Road and Bridge ; but, owing to the condition of things connected with them, I find it almost a thing impossible to get any nearer to the facts than I have. In the first place, there is not a bill to be found for the months of June or July, and so of course there can be no explanation given except what is derived from the pay-book, and that merely gives the name of the person, and the amount he is to receive; and where there are bills it is very puzzling to find out anything by them, for some have nothing more than the names of the persons and the sums they are to receive, and in one instance there was nothing but the surname of the person on the bill. Once in a while I could find one that was plain, but not very often. If one person had a number of bills, and I could get them all together, I could find out something near. what they meant ; and that was about all the way they could be got at, at any rate whatever. I found that the task was much greater than I expected it would be before I commenced upon it, but I hope I have finally got it so that it can be understood by people in general. If it is not, I am very sorry, for it was my intention that it should be, though at times I got so perplexed that I had a great mind to give it all up, and call it a drawn game. But I stuck to it, and I think I have finally conquered, to the satisfaction of my constituents.
