SCAVENGING AND DUSTING.
This department has been much neglected during the year; but I have
every reason to believe that, under the contracts just entered into, they
will be better performed.
Thanking the Vestry, and especially those Members forming the
Sanitary Committee, for their cordial co-operation and support,
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
THOMAS SAEYIS.
