Six hundred and eight loads of Sewer dirt have been removed from
the various Sewers by the Yestry's workmen, and carted away by the
Contractor.
It has been decided, upon a recommendation of the Works Committee,
that the Vestry's workmen shall make all excavations in the public
thoroughfares for the purpose of examining or laying in new drains to
private property, at a scale of charges approved by the Committee, instead
of permitting private persons to make such openings and fill them up.
MORTUARY CHAPEL.
The work of erecting the Mortuary in the Churchyard has proceeded
satisfactorily, and the Mortuary was formally opened in June last.
