§ SIR EARDLEY WILMOTasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether his attention has been drawn to the great superiority manifested in the construction of the macadamized roadway on the Thames Embankment, which is under the management and control of the Metropolitan Board of Works, to the construction of all other macadamized streets and roads in the Metropolis; and, whether he would consider whether it would be for the public advantage, both as to construction and repairs, if all Metropolitan highways were placed under the management and control of the Metropolitan Board of Works?
§ MR. DODSON,in reply, said, he believed that many of the macadamized roads in the Metropolis were in a far less satisfactory condition than was desirable; but he had no means to determine, by a comparative examination of them all, which was the best. The second part of the hon. Baronet's Question involved large questions of municipal government, which could not be entertained without much consideration.
