§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the Congested Districts Board can now see their way to provide a grant for the construction of a road between Tolsta and Ness, Island of Lewis, as urged in a resolution passed at a meeting at Ness early in the year, representing 4,000 inhabitants of the Ness district.
§ MR. SINCLAIRThe Answer is in the negative. The Board do not see their way to make a grant in respect of this road; but they have resolved to offer grants on the usual conditions in respect of two other roads in Lewis, the construction of which has been pressed upon them, and is considered more urgent.
