VESTRY OF THE PARISH OF FULHAM.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SURVEYOR,
For the Year 1886-7.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
In accordance with the instructions contained in the bye-laws,
I beg to submit to you the following report of the various works
and subjects connected with my department for the year commencing
on the 25th of March, 1886, and ending with the 30th of April,
1887 (see section 42, page 31, of Bye-laws).
The year is of special interest to the Vestry of Fulham, because
it was the first year of its existence as a separate vestry.
My appointment as surveyor to the Vestry took place on the
11th day of March, 1886, and I commenced my duties on the 25th
of the same month. This appointment was confirmed at the meeting
of the Vestry held on the 26th of March.
Mr. W. P. Jones, as Superintendent of Roads, and Mr. F. W.
J. Palmer, as Assistant Surveyor, were also appointed at the same
time.
