§ SIR JOSEPH BAILEYasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Government intend for the coming year to make a payment from Imperial Funds for the cost of highways similar in amount to that made last year—namely, a sum equal to half the amount paid out of the county rates in respect of main roads?
MR. GEORGE RUSSELL, in reply, said, that for the present the basis of payment from Imperial funds for the cost of highways would be the same as that laid down in the Treasury Minute of last year—namely, a sum equal to half the amount paid out of the county rates in respect of main roads.
