The average number of horses working per day during
the year was 26, exclusive of Sundays.
Sewers.
Serious accidents to the workmen employed in cleansing
the sewers having resulted from the accumulation of foul
gas therein, the Committee of Works instructed me to
report upon the matter, with a view of suggesting some
remedial means to prevent such accidents in future. In my
Report to the Committee, of the 13th November last, I
suggested the use of "Davy lamps," instead of the ordinary
open lamps; the Committee having approved of the suggestion,
these lamps are now used by all men employed in
sewer work throughout the Parish.
It will be seen by the following figures that the actual cost
has exceeded the estimate by £3,241 2s. 4½d. The following
items and works, however, amounting to £1,458 9s. 10d.,
have been ordered by the Vestry and included in this
amount, but were not allowed for in the estimate.
