CONCLUSION.
In concluding this report I have again to call the special attention of the
members of the Vestry to the following matters already referred to in this and
my former reports.
1. The rapid increase of the Parish, which is shown by the census returns,
the number of estates that are being laid out, the length of new sewers laid,
and the number of new buildings.
2. The economy to be effected with respect to the collection and disposal of
dust. This matter is fully reported on in my Report for 1888-9.
3. The advantage to be gained by the Vestry purchasing as many horses as
the new stables will accommodate, instead of continually hiring.
