the Vestry would again respond to their request to be
placed on a level footing with those doing similar work in
Lambeth and other Parishes. The memorialists respectfully
submitted a list of wages, which in their opinion was

with satisfaction to themselves and the ratepayers.

of your Committee are placed in parallel columns

Carmen receive 27s. per week,
and leave work at 2 o'clock
on Saturday all the year

receive 34s. per week, and
leave work at 1 o'clock on
Saturday.
(3.) That Pickers, Tar
Paviours, and Bargemen
receive 26s. per week, and
6s. each per day when barging.
(4.) That Sweepers
receive 24s. per week.
