On the 11th of February I reported that sanding the roads during the severe
frost between the 20th of November to the 20th January, cost for sand, labour,
and cartage, the sum of £327 16s. l0d.
It is satisfactory to know that some of the papers spoke of our parish as
standing "highest in the estimation of the drivers" for spreading sand in frosty
weather.

In addition to the extra labour, all the regular men employed are set to work
to clear away snowfalls, together with a great number of horses and carts,
sweeping machines and horse scrapers, which last are of great use. This makes
the cost of a snowfall very great, and I calculate that the Vestry spent last
winter £787 10s. Od. over the clearance of snow and sanding streets.
