The average number of horses kept throughout the
year equals 9.79. The cost per horse for keep and maintenance
will therefore be £68 7s. 5½d., or 3s. 9d. per
day. The charge, however, to the various jobs on which
the horses have been worked should be 4s. 3d., which
sum will cover the expenses of keep during Sundays
and the time horses have been in the stable on account of
sickness. This shows a decrease of 1s. 3d. per horse per
day on the working expenses to that of the previous year.
The illness during the past year has been 6.34 per cent,
less than that of the previous year.
Tlie cost of the various paving works carried out during the past year was as follows, viz.: —
| £ | s. | d. | |
