SCAVENGING ROADS.
A reference to the Tabular Statement which I append, will shew a
total saving upon the expenditure under this head during the previous
year, this is owing to the unusually dry winter.
The cost of keeping the Yestry's horses was 6s. 5¾d. per day, as compared
with 6s. 6d. for the year ending March, 1881.
The Vestry's horses worked 9,041 days for one horse, and cost
^2,934 12s. 6d., of this sum ^383 2s. yd. was for depreciation and
interest, and ^2,551 9s. nd. for keep of horses and establishment
charges.
I regret to have to report the loss during the year of 4 of the
Vestry's horses, these cost originally ^"270.
