To the Chairman and Members of the Vestry
of St. James's, Westminster.
Vestry Hall, Piccadilly,
June, 1881.
Reverend Sir, Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen,
In presenting an abbreviated summary of the more
salient works that have been executed by the Vestry, that
is to say, works connected with Paving or Sewerage,
between March, 1880, and March, 1881, it will be as
well to state that the numerous questions that have to be
submitted to the Vestry, or their Committees, are not
detailed, as such detail would form a most uninteresting
and almost useless list of subjects well known to all the
Members, and of importance in themselves, the whole of
which being entered upon the minutes of their proceedings
can at any future time become subjects of reference.
The lists accompanying this report relate not so much
to matters of routine whose name is legion, but to
those special works that show the yearly progress of
one particular Parish or District, and as such, become
a record of great interest when compared with each other,
B
