The number of days worked as against this amount
(£1,490 7s 6d.) was 6,611. The cost per horse for
keep and maintenance was £66 3s., or 3s. 7½d.
per day. The charge, however, to the various jobs
on which the horses have worked should be 4s. 6d.,
per day, which sum will cover the expenses of keep during
Sundays and the time horses have been in the stable
for sickness. This shows an increase of 2d. per horse
per day on the working expenses of the previous year.
The illness during the past year has been 3.77 per cent.,
being .59 per cent, less than last year.
