very important public works may appear to have been actually
accomplished, still, as I hope I have demonstrated to
you much is in embryo, which will ultimately tend to a further
improved condition and a fulfilment of the requirements ofthe
parish, so also with your own local matters which more
immediately concern the Vestry, although it cannot perhaps
be shewn that we have accomplished much that is patent
to the view, still we can refer to the general condition of
our parish as satisfactorily improved under the new regime,
by the removal of much that was prejudicial to the health
and property of its inhabitants, and we may believe that
the steady progress of improvement daily going on will
further develope the fact, that Local self government has
not been in vain intrusted to its present possessors.
As an instrument in your hands in carrying out the
powers confided to you, I have again gratefully to acknowledge
the kind co-operation of all with whom I act, and I
trust that this co-operation is the result of your continued
confidence in
Tour humble and obedient Servant,
Office of Works, J. C. REYNOLDS,
