receipts. It will be observed on referring to the table
that there is a considerable increase in the number of
persons using the convenience as compared with the
corresponding period of last year. The waste pipes from
the urinals have, from time to time, become stopped up
with furr by corrosion of the metal, and to obviate these
continual stoppages, the pipes have been altered, and now
discharge direct into the gullies, and it is hoped that there
will be no future cause of complaint. The total cost of the
alteration was £21 .10 .3.
