your Committee; they hope, in a short time, to be
able to lay before the Vestry such data and results as
to the portion now under experiment as will probably
lead to the adoption of one whole, undivided, and
independent system.
The adoption of a system of this kind will require,
both on the part of the Committee and the officials,
greatly increased attention, and the responsibility of
the position is one which will call for the kind consideration
of both the Vestry and the Ratepayers.
Individual Members of the Committee are now
giving a very large amount of personal attention
to the duties at present undertaken, which will ba
greatly increased should the Vestry undertake the
Watering and Slopping of the whole Parish; and
although a very considerable amount of work has
been done, much effort will yet be required to
inaugurate a comple e system.
In the interim, the Committee trust the Vestry
will support them in the attempt they have made to
bring about an alteration from the contracting system,
which had proved totally unable to cope with the
requirements of this large Parish.
