Your Board have ordered to be presented herewith an Abstract of the
several Contracts entered into during the year; and also of their accounts
which have been duly audited. They deem any extensive reference to their
proceedings during the year superfluous, inasmuch as by the Metropolis
Local Management Act, the accounts and proceedings of the Board are
open to Public inspection, independent of the copious Reports, which from
time to time have appeared in the Local Press. They, however, take this
opportunity of expressing a hope, that their exertions in the improvement
of the District will be appreciated by their Constituents.
