This subject is of so important a character to the
future of the Metropolis that it cannot be too closely
attended to, and therefore your Committee has given
to the 79 cases so submitted to them during the
past year the most earnest consideration. In many
instances but for this attention, examples of most inconvenient
construction would have occurred, to the
great prejudice of public convenience and comfort.
Lighting.
The increase of new streets within this Parish
naturally necessitates additional Lamps being erected,
the applications for which from Owners and Occupiers
in the respective localities have been carefully examined
by your Committee, and have resulted in the following
number of Lamps now being lighted at the public
cost within this Parish:—
No.
South Metropolitan Gas Company 1,513
Phoenix Gas Company 88
Crystal Palace District Gas Company 77
Total Number 1,678
The number of additional Lamps erected
during the past year is 60
