by a similar yard and covered shed. Within the last
few weeks a portion of the latter has been appropriated
to the purposes of a Smithy and Shoeing
Forge which has been fitted up and is now in use
lor the purpose of Shoeing the Horses and carrying
on general Smith's and Iron work repairs, including
the repairing of pickaxes, and the like work, all of
which will now be done on the Vestry premises; a
system which at once commends itself for convenience
and economy.
Smith's Shop
for shoeing
Horses, &c.
Proposed Shed
for Wheelwrights'
work.
When the Arch No. 238 (before referred to)
is obtained it is proposed to further extend this
"Home Work" by so adapting some of the additional
shed-room thus acquired as to allow of the
fitting up of a wheelwright's shop in conjunction
with that of the Smithy. This will enable the Stafi
to do also the repairs to vans, carts, &c., on the premises,
in lieu of sending them away to contractors,
preventing much inconvenience and loss of time.
Loose Boxes,
On the east side of Victoria Road, Arch
No. 234 has been fitted up as Loose Boxes lor
sick horses. This has proved most serviceable in
separating the horses during sickness, thereby preventing
contagion.
