"Llysnewydd,
13 July, 1844.

My dear Sir,

I have received your letter and the suggestions you have made with respect to t he new Road Bill for S. Wales and will communicate them to Mr. Saunders Davies.

There is one amongst them, however, I think, we are not likely to adopt namely in respect to the election of the district Boards, as I cannot think it advisable to revert to the principle of a popular election in that matter.

The ratepayers are no wise interested excepting as Toll-payers, and they are prohibited by the power of the County board being restricted to the imposition of a maximum, as shewn in the Schedule, at the end of the Bill, and which if exercised even to its fullest extent is but a reasonable amount of Toll.

I think, and have before thought, it a good suggestion that the County Bridges should be brought under the same management, and will see what can be done in that respect. I hope we shall meet on Monday.

Believe me, very truly yours,
Geo. Rice Trevor."
