The above table shows the number of Vestry and Committee
meetings held These are almost entirely held in the evening, and
many of them last until a very late hour The attendance at them
is a very severe strain, and I should be glad if some arrangement
could be made to lesson the number that I have to attend, in the
same manner as has been arranged in the Clerk's Department
