been found for painters, and I beg to recapitulate a portion
of my report, which I made to that Committee.
CAMBERWELL GREEN—
Painting Railings.
Eight men were employed, and with the interference
of wet weather, made an average of about 39 hours'
work each, or a total of 312½ hours' work, which
was paid at the rate of 8½d. per hour, at the end of the
week 11 1s. 5d.
The hours of working have been those recognized by the
trade at this season of the year, viz. :—
7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday,
7 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturdays,
with half an hour for breakfast, and half an hour for dinner.
A full week's work would represent 44½ hours at 8½d. per
hour £1 11s. 6¾d.
Agreeably to the trade rules, I gave one hour's notice
to the men on Friday, and they expressed themselves as very
thankful to the Vestry for the work which had been provided
for them, and acknowledged that it was only fair, as
work could not be found for all, that they should make way
for others out of work.
