The manner in which the Water Company's vouchers
have been prepared has caused considerable trouble,
their foremen having acquired a habit of forgetting to
include the concrete. This has involved great care on
the part of your officers in examining the vouchers, also
considerable discussion and correspondence with the
officers of the Company; but I am glad to say that in
almost every claim which I have made on behalf of the
Vestry the claim has eventually been allowed by the
Company.
The charge for repairing trenches in macadam roads
(opened by the East London Water Works Company),
has been raised, so that the Vestry now receive 2s. per
yard, instead of 1s. 3d. as heretofore.
