could be carried on, and also having granted an advantageous
tariff of freight, the work was commenced in October last.
As a matter of course, in the outset, there was considerable
difficulty experienced, but notwithstanding all things a small
margin of profit has been reported, and it is confidently hoped
that in the future matters will be still more successful.
In conjunction with the matter, the Vestry have hired an arch
of the Railway Company to act as an office. The rent is £10
per annum. Although tenders are invited for the supply of corn
and fodder for the keep of the Vestry's horses, no formal contract
is entered into, and the Vestry therefore submit the following
statement, showing the class of materials tendered for, the
names of the persons whose tenders were accepted with the
dates of acceptance, and the price agreed to be paid.

During the year, there have not been any new streets directed
to be paved at the owners' expense. The Vestry are pleased to
be able to report that in nearly every case referred to in former
years they have succeeded in recovering the charge from the
owners.

As pointed out in the last Report, the Vestry had made
suggestions to the Metropolitan Board of Works for the renaming
and renumbering of many streets.
