HOARDINGS.
A new form of Hoarding Licence, more stringent in its conditions, has been
adopted.
I have again to call the attention of the Yestry to the advisability of empowering
me to exercise more supervision over hoardings in new streets where,
at present, building materials are placed without any protection, to the great
danger of passengers.
MISCELLANEOUS.
For paving works and removing lamps, &c., twelve different sums, amounting
to £40 15s. have been received by this department during the year.

For permission to lay straw in roads, three different sums, amounting to
