I have given a resume of the work done in the Sanitary
Department during the year but cannot conclude without
recording my opinion that the thanks of the Vestry are due

Department for the zeal and discretion with which they have
carried out the important duties devolving on them.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
J. CHARLES JACKSON,
Feb, 22nd, 1895.
