"Prc'iably the most permanent of the results of the year work la the establishment or Terrace on a municipal basis. The BoarO not only tar ted the movement In favor of Incorporating the tillage but also watched lta progress -!!h keen Interest and bore the brunt of the preliminary expenses. It la safe to say that the fact that the board was behind the movement was one of the main factors in securing Its success "Pressure has been brought to bear on he Public Works Department In many matter and the result have been of exceptional benefit to this district. Principally because of the prompt , action of the Board a large additional aum of money' was allocated to continue the woyk of the construction camp on the new transcontinental road at Usk. A number jot other claims to attention ere also treated by the department with greater respect than personal rcrre-entrtn would have been likely to secure. "The mining committee has been bury on several matters of Interest snd Importance to the mining fraternity and tie results of their labors will bt msn.fest In the years to come. "The publicity committee have their scheme for serving the Interest of the district but unfortunately the need of conserving funds haa prevented them making great headway. Thla la regret- lable because no less than over threo thousand applications for Information as to local conditions were received from possible settlers but, owing to the lack of a. phamphlet describing the main features of the district only s few of these could be replied to. "Other committees have doubtlen been working quietly and possibly efficiently but their efforts have not been much In the limelight. "Special committees to deal with special subjects were cat up during the year and most of them duly carried out their duties. In particular the committee of Public Works Improvements sug- trtcd to be carried out in 1838 provided a very lengthy Hat of works requiring attention in all parts of the district.
