the work in accordance with your Surveyor's plan and estimate.
NEW BUILDINGS—BUILDINGS RE-DRAINED.
Notices of intention to build, and applications for permission to drain have been
received, considered by your Works Committee, and approved by the Vestry for 143
various premises, and 125 applications for lamps, sign-boards, pavement lights, &c.
have been dealt with.
COMBINED DRAINAGE.
Fifty-seven orders for draining by means of a combined operation have been
made by the Vestry upon plans deposited for approval, in accordance with section 74
of 18 and 19 Vic., cap. 120, which will hereafter prevent their being construed as
sewers repairable by the Vestry.
LICENSES, &c.
Two hundred and fifty-three licenses and renewals for erecting scaffolds or
hoardings, &c., have been issued, and the paving works connected therewith
measured, and the costs paid by the builders.
The undermentioned is a table of comparison with the number of drainage works
executed, and plans deposited and approved, and number of licenses, &c., granted
during the last three years, from which will be seen the activity of building operations
generally in the parish, and the great increase in the work of your Surveyor's department
to deal with same.
