Lighting.
The streets under the control of the Vestry have been
lighted by gas supplied by the Gas Light and Coke Company
and the London Gas Company.
The lighting of the public lamps in the portions of the
Parish supplied with gas by the Gas Light and Coke
Company has, since the 25th June, 1877, been lighted
upon the average meter system; the Vestry carrying out
the work of lighting, cleansing, and repairs by its own staff
of lamplighters and other workmen, and the gas being paid
for by meter indication.
The portion of the Parish known as the Grosvenor Place
District is supplied with gas by the London Gas Company
at a contract price of £3 9s. per lamp per annum, including
lighting, cleansing, and repairs. The following statement
shows the cost of lighting that portion of the Parish, carried
out by the meter system.
