It will bo seen by the foregoing statement that wo have
(during the period covered by this Report), received largo sums
from Electric Lighting and Gas Companies for the reinstating
of trenches opened by thorn; the dimensions of these trenches
have been unusually large, especially in the case of the London
Electric Supply Corporation, who have laid trunk mains in
many of the principal thoroughfares. As much of this work
is now completed, we do not anticipate receiving such large
sums during the ensuing year.
The total sum expended on Carriageway and Footway
Paving Works executed by ourselves, including Estimated Works,
Repairs, Trenches, and the whole of the Plant purchased
amounted to £2,437 18s. 10d., for which sum the whole of the
following works were carried out, for a portion of which we
have received from various Companies, £837 10s. 2d.
