With the view of preventing disagreeable smells which
were complained of, the principal thoroughfares have, as
occasion required, been thoroughly washed, and the effect
has proved so beneficial that during the past summer I
have not received a single complaint.
Watering the Streets.
The spreading of the water in the streets of the In
Wards has been done by Mr. T. Hobbs, Jun.; in the Out
Wards by the horses and carts belonging to the Yestry.
The water for the In Wards is supplied by the Grand
Junction Water Company, and that in the Out Wards by
the Chelsea Water Company.
Stock of Plant and Materials.
The valuation of the plant and materials, consisting of
1 steam roller, 1 horse roller, 28 horses, 27 slop carts, and
14 water carts, 12 water vans, 4 shoot carts, &c., &c., the
property of the Vestry, at the expiration of the parochial
year was £8,246 0s. 7d.
On the 25th of March, 1876, the number of horses in
stock, the property of the Parish, was twenty-seven. Since
then one horse ("Turpin") has been sold by auction, and
realized £36 15s. Two horses have been purchased (August,
1876) at a cost of £140. The number of horses in stock,
therefore, at the end of the past year (Lady-day, 1877) was
twenty-eight; the value of which I estimate at £1,782.
Stable Arrangements.
The cost incurred, under this heading, in the maintenance
of the Parish Plant, together with the keep of the
Paviours' Works.
