That your Petitioners consider that from the nature of the country, being free from swamps, and not requiring any ex pensive works ; as drainage, bridges, cul verts, and costly road making ; therefore that your Petitioners can manage their own portion of the district with'consider ably less outlay than it costs them being attached to the present districts. 4th.
