MORTUARY.
During the year, plans, specifications and estimates have been preparedfor
converting a portion of the vaults under the Church of St. John
into a Mortuary. A plan and copy of the specification was submitted
to the Vicar for him to obtain the consent of the Bishop of the diocese.
Plans of the old Watch-house, situate at the corner of Wood Street
and Church Row, have also been prepared and submitted to the
joint-members of Works and Sanitary Committees, and the old
Engine-house adjoining Watch-house has been temporarily fitted and
adapted for that purpose ; but in the case of an epidemic breaking out
it would not be sufficiently commodious. Plans have therefore been
prepared for re-constructing and partially re-building the old Watchhouse,
which await the sanction of the Vestry.
THE PARISH PLAN.
The Vestry having resolved that a Plan of the Parish should be
prepared, a considerable amount of time has been devoted to this
work, it being necessary to make several surveys of different portions
of the Parish where alterations have been made and new streets
formed. A plan drawn to a small scale is now being prepared, and as
soon as ready copies will be struck off in numbers sufficient to supply
the members.
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours most obediently,
WILLIAM MUNDY.
