the Vestry, by which every opportunity has been seized to

LIGHTING.
The Report of last year showed extensive additions to the
number of Public Lamps formerly erected within this Parish.
Frequent applications are still being made for a further extension
of Lighting to which the Committee appointed by you for
that purpose has given its best attention, and who, whilst
endeavouring to comply with the necessities of the localities
thus brought under its notice, has not been unmindful of
the increase of rating consequent thereon, and it has in many
instances, as shown by the subjoined table, endeavoured to
meet the requirements of the several cases by a re-arrangement
of the existing Lamps, and has thereby effected the required
improvement without incurring additional annual expenditure.
The following table will show the number of Lamps already
erected within the Parish on the commencement of the
powers of this Vestry, with the additions thereto, to the 25th
March 1858.
