REPORT.
The prescribed period for submitting the
Annual Report of the proceedings of the Vestry having
again arrived, the Vestry do so with much pleasure and
with an assurance that their acts will meet with the
approbation of the Ratepayers.
In the first place, the Vestry regret to announce the
loss of four of their number, viz.: Messrs. Crow, Musto,
and Poole, and Dr. Snell, who had whilst in the Vestry
used their best exertions for the good of the Hamlet.
The Vestry do not deem it necessary here to enter
into all the details of the various paving and sanitary
works which have been executed and carried out during
the year, as accounts in extenso will be found in the several
reports of the Surveyor, Medical Officer, and Inspector
of Nuisances appended hereto, and to which the Vestry
beg to refer.
The work of paving the Mile End Road has been most
efficiently completed by Mr. J. J. Griffiths, the Contractor,
and the Vestry feel sure that the Ratepayers
appreciate the improved condition of the road, so far as
the part under the immediate control of the Vestry is
concerned.
The Vestry however must say that notwithstanding
all their efforts to have the part used by the Tramway
Company kept in proper condition, it has not been so,
and that part the Vestry fear will ever prove a source
of trouble.
The Vestry have, during the year, been enabled at a
very small cost to effect a long and much needed improvement
in widening the entrance to South Grove.
