To Baron Haussman's disappointment, Jerome Bonaparte did not have much reaction to the achievements he had made during his tenure, only said in a bland tone, "I understand, please have a seat first!" ending Baron Haussman's speech.
After everyone at the Imperial Council finished their speeches, Jerome Bonaparte began to make a summary speech.
He first collectively praised all the ministers attending the Imperial Council, then proceeded to critique certain issues present in various departments, such as the Ministry of Railways employees' extravagance and the safety incidents caused by the Ministry of Public Works during road construction.
All the ministers who were criticized bowed their heads and humbly accepted the critique, assuring Jerome Bonaparte that such incidents would never happen again.
Jerome Bonaparte gently replied, "Let it not be repeated."
After all the praise and criticism were concluded, the time was around twelve noon.
