The Vestry of the Parish of fulham.
REPORT OF THE SURVEYOR,
FOR THE YEAR 1895.96.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
I beg to present the Tenth Annual Report of Works carried out in
this Parish during the year from the 25th March, 1895, to the 25th March,
1896, with Schedules showing various details at the end. It will be seen
that the works and expenses increase as the Parish becomes more densely
populated, and consequently the work of the Surveyor's department
increasts proportionately. Various improvements have been effected, or
are under consideration, and the maintenance of permanent works, such
as roads, sewers, &c., has had close, careful and efficient attention.
AREA OF THE PARISH.
The area of the Parish of Fulham is 1,700 324 acres.
Area of Foreshore 56.561 „
Area of Tidal Water 99.614 „
Total 1,856.499
COMPARATIVE TABLE.
Showing the increase in the population, length of roads, footpaths,
etc., of the Parish since the separation from Hammersmith in 1886. The
