On the 29th September there were 1,020 lamps in the various
thoroughfares of the parish, including 17 lamps at refuges, wide
crossings, &c. in Lighting on this date, and 13 meters were in use
for registering the consumption of gas.
The burners of the ordinary lamps are regulated by the Gas
Company to consume five feet of gas per hour, but as there is no
way of testing these regulator burners by the Vestry, and as the
Company light and extinguish the lamps irregularly, the parish
suffers in the matter of light, by having less burning hours, while
the Gas Cas Company reaps large dividends.
The following lamps burn more than five feet per hour—one
lamp at Wandsworth Bridge, at 28 feet per hour, Sugg's patent
lamp and burner; one lamp at Gibbs Green, at 11 feet per hour,
do.; two lamps at Moore Park, at 12 feet per hour, do.
There is a lamp consuming five feet over Walham Green urinal.
