the care and attention bestowed on these various subjects, by
the respective Committees who have them in charge.
LIGHTING.
In the last Twelve months, No. 8 additional public lamps
have been erected, and No. 29 have been altered to improved
positions.
The number of public lamps now lighted at the expense of
the Vestry, and the Companies who Contract for the same, are
as under,—
South Metropolitan Company 1146
Phoenix " 57
Crystal Palace " 6
Total 1209
At the risk of wearying the Vestry, I should be enabled to
detail many matters other than those referred to in this report,
and which necessarily occupy much of the time and
attention of myself, and those under my direction, but I feel
assured this is unnecessary, and therefore, Gentlemen, I conclude
by tendering you my sincere thanks for the kind appreciation
of my services, which I invariably meet with at your
hands, and seeking its continuance for the future,
I remain,
Your obedient Servant,
Office of Works, J. C. REYNOLDS,
Wells Street, Camberwell, surveyor,
July, 1860.
