VESTRY'S DEPOTS.
Your Committee having had its attention drawn to the
additional accommodation required at the several Depots
placed under their charge, through the increased work of
Slopping, Dusting, Carting, &c., have made alterations and
improvements as under:—
ADDINGTON SQUARE DEPOT.
The small cottage at this wharf which was formerly
occupied by the Labourer in charge, but which, since his death,
has been used as an office only, has been enlarged and made
sufficient for residential occupation by the Superintendent of
No. 1 District. The cost of this enlargement has been fully
compensated for by doing away with the necessity of a night
watchman, the District Superintendent now taking the entire
charge of these premises, which in addition to the economy
effected by such alteration, enables the Superintendent to
more efficiently supervise the work in hand, and protect
the plant, material, &c., on this wharf.
PECKHAM PARK ROAD DEPOT.
Additions have been made to the horse loose boxes, and
also the covered and open sheds, for the extension of the
work carried on at this wharf. Also necessary repairs to
the two cottages on the wharf, one of which is occupied
by the Horse-keeper in charge of that portion of the Vestry's
Stud kept here ; the other by one of the Vestry employees,
who pays rent for the same to the Vestry.
