On January 5th, a notice of motion was given at
the Vestry meeting to rescind the resolution of
December 15th, and on February 2nd the Vestry
substituted the following resolution for that of
December 15th, "That not less than 100 men bo
employed during three days in the week each, and
another 100 for the other three days for the next 28
days, to take effect from next Monday."
A number of the most able-bodied of these applying
were then selected, and the construction of a pipe
sewer in Squirries Street, Florida Street and Brick
Lane put in hand. These works lasted some time
beyond the period mentioned in the last resolution
of the Vestry, and some of the men were continued
on the work at the usual rate of wages until their
completion.
