REPORT.
The works undertaken during the year for extending
and giving efficiency to the sewerage of the Hamlet,
and for paving and improving the streets, will be found
in detail in the Report of the Surveyor to the Vestry,
which is submitted herewith for the information of the
Ratepayers. So far as they include new works, they
will, it is trusted, be accepted as a satisfactory instalment
of the public improvements which the inhabitants
have a right to expect from the Governing Body of
the District, and so far as they relate to the maintenance
of existing works, it is hoped that they show
a due regard to the public health and convenience.
The Vestry have not been unmindful of the demands
made upon them as the Sanitary Authority.
The following is a list of the minor works, which,
acting in that capacity, they have caused to be effectually
carried out:—
Old drains abolished 109
Houses and premises connected with sewers 130
Foul drains cleansed 96
Accumulations of dung and refuse removed 22
