Applications for Road Lighting have been made from the
localities of Sydenham Common, Sydenham Rise, Crystal
Palace Road, Sydenham, the Road from the Alleyn's Head to
Paxton Hotel, Norwood, and Avenue Road, Gipsy Hill, &c.,
which have received the attention of the Lighting Committee
and have since been ordered by the Vestry, it being considered
necessary that these localities (now being converted
to building purposes,) require the protection which efficient
Lighting affords. These Lamps are now in the course of
erection by the Crystal Palace Gas Company.
I believe I have not omitted any matter necessary either
for the use of the Vestry, or which you might have desired to
have had reported upon for the general information of the
Ratepayers.
I beg therefore with all respect, and grateful for the confidence
and kindness with which my efforts to perform the
duties of the office I have the pleasure to hold under you, is
so uniformly accorded to me, to subscribe myself
Your faithful Servant,
J. C. REYNOLDS,
SURVEYOR.
