I need scarcely trouble the Vestry with the details of the
many other matters which have occupied the attention of the
several Committees, and also your officers during the past
year, as they have in most cases from time to time formed
portions of the Reports to the Yestry, and received its
sanction.
In conclusion, Grentlemen, I venture to hope that the
same amount of confidence, kind consideration, and assistance
in the performance of the many onerous and important
duties devolving upon me, which it has been my privilege
hitherto to enjoy, may be claimed from you for the
future to enable me to continue satisfactorily the performance
of those duties, and gradually to develope improvements and
requirements for the benefit of the Parish at large, and to the
credit of the Yestry, whose function it is to carry them into
execution.
J. C. REYNOLDS,
SURVEYOR.
