Uestry of the parish of Fulham.
SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SURVEYOR,
FOR THE YEAR 1891.92.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
I beg to present to you my Sixth Annual Report on the works
executed by my department, for the year commencing on the 25th of
March, 1891, and ending on the 25th of March, 1892.
As in my former reports, the corresponding figures for the previous
years are retained in the tabulated statements, the tables being far more
useful when extending over a series of years.
This year many schedules will be found at the end of the Report, as
I have reason to believe that their interposition causes some of my observations
to be passed over. It is a matter of some regret that notwithstanding
the care I have always taken to compile the various tables
and statistics in my report, with a view to their being useful to the Vestrymen
of this Parish, many of them show by their observations that they
have not paid much attention to the report, and ask for returns concerning
matters which have been already dealt with.
Many of the recommendations in my previous reports have not yet been
acted upon, I have therefore decided to repeat them, annually, until they
are carried out. Those, therefore, who are acquainted with my previous
reports must excuse any repetition that may appear, and I ask their
assistance in rendering it unnecessary.

The area of the Parish of Fulham is 1,700.324 acres.
