65. Conclusion.— I desire to record my sincere thanks to
the whole of my Staff for the energy and forethought they at
all times display in assisting me in carrying out the arduous
duties of such a growing Parish, and I mournfully wish to
mention the sad loss, after a lingering illness, of a bright and
promising young man (H. Eardley Vincent, my articled pupil),
who I am sure, had he been spared, would have been an
ornament to the profession he had chosen. To the Officers of
the other Departments I have again to express my thanks for
their ready help at all times. To the Chairman and ViceChairman
(Colonel Richardson, J.P., and Joseph Harper, Esq.)
of the Vestry, and the Chairman and Vice-Chairman (.T. R.
Jolly, Esq., J.P., and H. W. Jones, Esq.) of the Works Committee,
and many other members of the Vestry, I beg to
tender my sincere thanks for their kindly help in assisting me
on many occasions to efficiently discharge the duties of my
office.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
WILLIAM CUMMING GOW, C.E.,
Mem. Assoc. Municipal and County Engineers,
Surveyor to the Plumstead Vestry.
