Sir

I have the honor to bring under your notice, that the footpath of the domain-Street

1

Domain Road? Sands & McDougall's Melbourne and suburban directory, 1864, p. 164, lists no junction of Millswyn Street with Domain Street but with Domain Road as a T-junction. Domain Street intersects Domain Road two blocks to the west of Millswyn Street.

(South-Yarra), especially on that part opposite Millswyn-Street, is at present in an impassable state, in consequence of the water from Punt-hill becoming stagnant at the spot indicated. It would merely need the deepening of the channel to allow the water to flow off and this could be effected by a very inconsiderable outlay. I thought it proper to bring this circumstance, which causes much inconvenience to the inhabitants of South-Yarra under your favorable consideration, in as much as the ground under my control is closely adjacent to the innundated locality.
