The work done by this department during the year has been very hea???
and we are undoubtedly under-staffed, and matters have been delayed or l???
in abeyance by reason of the need for more help. My thanks are due—a???
are given—to the members of my staff and to the members of the Vest???
for their assistance and co-operation in carrying out the duties and wo???
imposed on my department.
I am,
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
CHARLES BOTTERILL,
Member of the Incorporated Association of Engineers.
Engineer and Surveyor to the Vestry.
GENERAL CARTING.
