I think the alteration made in the Mile End Road
which I have spoken of has given satisfaction to the
inhabitants of the vicinity.
Watering.
During the summer season the water carts were
employed on 67 days, and cost the sum of £455 10s. for
horses and men, and the sum of £174 15s. 9d. for water
supplied by the East London Water Works Company.
As you have to perform the watering of the Mile
End Road during this season you have had 5 new water
carts constructed by Mr. Mansfield, making 16 carts
now used by you.
Lighting.
The lighting of the Hamlet is still continued by
the Commercial Gas Company, who light 729 lamps at
a cost to the Vestry of £2933 6s. 2d.
No complaint has originated during the past year
of either the quantity or quality of the gas supplied.
Sewers.
During the past year sewers have been laid in
Heath Street, Arbour Street East, Arbour Street West,
Arbour Square, Rhodeswell Road. Jubilee Street, Albert
Street, Albert Road, and Longnor Road. That portion
of the work executed at the cost of the Vestry was
performed by Mr. Finch and Mr. Asiiby.
The outlay to the Vestry for these works was
£1439 13s. 6d.
Fifteen new gullies have been constructed, and 135
old gullies trapped. There are still 300 gullies in the
Hamlet which are untrapped.
Much inconvenience is occurring from the small
