LIGHTING.
Several Improved Lamps have been erected in
various places in the Parish, and the subject of
improved lighting of the Parish is receiving the
careful attention of the Committee. The South
Metropolitan Gas Company have intimated to the
Vestry that the charge per lamp is from Christmas
last reduced to £3 12s. 6d., subject to the usual
discount of five per cent. This reduction will
enable the Vestry to allow the extreme distance
between the lamps to be decreased without increase
in expenditure. The Crystal Palace Gas Company
have also reduced their charge to £4 1s. 4d. per
lamp, also with a discount of five per cent.
