Street Lighting.
The Gas Sub-Committee have given considerable attention
to the question of Street Lighting, and a great and
marked improvement in the lighting of some of the streets
in the Parish, particularly in the District of South Belgravia,
has been effected by the simple alteration of the position of
certain lamps, which the Committee after several evening
inspections considered desirable.
