With a view to the more efficient watering of the Parish, two new
hydrants have been erected ; one in Hereford-street (District No. i),
and one at Marian-square (District No. 2).
A public urinal for five persons, supplied by Messrs. Walter
Macfarlane & Co., has been fixed in Queen-street.
A public urinal for six persons has been erected under the superintendence
of the Shoreditch Vestry at the corner of Austin-street and
Hackney-road, a proportion of the cost of constructing which, and
the cost of future maintenance, will devolve upon this Vestry.
The urinal at Clare-street, by the Cambridge Heath Station, has
been removed and added to the urinal at Cabbage-court, Brick-lane.
The urinal in Cambridge-road, opposite St. John's Church, has
been fitted so as to have a constant supply of water.
The cost of water for the annual flushing of sewers, courts, alleys,
&c., amounts to £\i 3s.
Through the liberality of a private donor and also of some gentlemen
connected with the Vestry, the Approach-road, Victoria-parl, has been
planted with plane trees at distances of about 40 ft. The work of
planting commenced in February last, and proceeded satisfactorily
under the personal supervision of Mr. Maclntyre of Victoria Park.
The trees, 72 in number, were supplied by Messrs. Paul & Son, of
Waltham Cross, and the tree guards by Messrs. Wood, of Cobham,
Surrey.
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours most obediently,
W. H. GATHERCOLE.
