EAST SIDE PARSONS GREEN.
The roadway requiring raising and making up, the Vestry received tenders
for carrying out the work, the lowest being £265. My estimate was £182.
My estimate being so much lower than the tender, the Vestry instructed me
to carry out the work; and on the 25th June, 1890, I reported that the work
had cost £139 10s., being £42 10s. less than my estimate, and £125 10s. less
than the contractor's tender.
The Yestry have purchased fourteen horses during the year.
