It will be seen by these figures that the actual amount
spent has exceeded the estimate by £8,043 12s. 8d. This
increased expenditure is due to certain works, specially
ordered by the Vestry, having been carried out, but not
allowed for in my estimate.
The following is a list of the principal items:—
| £ | s. | d. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laying down Wood Pavement in Bond Street, parts of St. James' Street, Mill Street, George Street, Maddox Street, Stafford Street, &c. | 6,169 | 17 | 11 |
| Laying down Granite paving— Eccleston Mews | 513 | 6 | 3 |
| Buckingham Palace Road (part of) | 1,828 | 19 | 5 |
| Vauxhall Bridge Road (part of) | |||
| Wilton Road (part of) | |||
| Supplying forge, tools, &c., for blacksmith's shop, &c. | 130 | 0 | 0 |
| £8,642 | 3 | 7 |
When this amount is deducted from the actual expenditure, it will be seen that the cost of the work of the Parish in my department has been within the estimate by nearly £600:—
| Annual Estimate | Actual Cost. | |||||
