Notes
Letters were to be addressed to the Chairman, Roads Commission, Survey Office, Dunedin. At their first meeting, the Commissioners made a request for clerical assistance. This suggests that they did indeed keep their own records and therefore offers a confirmation of agency status. The published Report of the Commission includes minutes and correspondence appended.

[history] => The task of the Commission was to enquire into and report on what sorts of roads were the best adapted to the circumstances of the Province of Otago. The Commissioners were John Turnbull Thomson (Chief Surveyor), Frederick Joseph Moss, John Cargill, Arthur John Burns, Thomas Tayler (sic), John Hardy and Mathew Holmes.
The Commissioners first met at the Survey Office, Dunedin, on 14 December 1863. Their report, dated 28 March 1864, was tabled before the Provincial Council on 14 April 1864. They recommended the development of railways as essential to relieve the burden on the roads, but considered the development of further roads was necessary as well. (Report of the Commission on Roads and their Construction, AOV&P, 1864 Session 18).
