REPORT.
The matters dealt with in this report for the year ending 25th
March, 1888, are abstracts from the minutes of the Vestry's
proceedings at each meeting.
Each Report of the Finance Committee contained recommendations
for the payment of cheques. It has been deemed
unnecessary to repeat that fact on each occasion, and unless the
report contained some other recommendations, it is merely
stated that the report was adopted. Anything special is
mentioned.
In like manner nearly every report of the Sanitary Committee
contains—
(1) A recommendation that the orders made on drainage
applications be confirmed;
(2) A recommendation for orders to be made for the
execution of sanitary works pursuant to the reports of
the Medical Officer of Health and Sanitary Inspectors;
(3) A list of the works executed pursuant to orders.
These therefore are not repeated at each meeting.
The properties dealt with by the orders as to drainage will be
found in Schedule I.
The names of the streets-in which properties were situate,
and the nature of the orders as to sanitary works, will be found
in Schedule II.
A list of the works executed pursuant to the orders last
referred to will be found in the Report of the Medical Officer
of Health.
It has been deemed unnecessary to give the reports of the
Medical Officer of Health on the birth and death rate which
are submitted at each meeting as these matters are dealt with
in the annual report of the Medical Officer.
