SNOW.
The cost for labour for clearing away Snow was £373 11s. 3d.
Twenty tons of salt were used, and cost £28 8/-.
The quantity of Snow which fell during the past winter was
not great, and only such as could be easily dealt with; but the
obligation upon you under a recent Act may entail an enormous
cost, and, in my judgment, not be so satisfactory as the system
under which every householder was responsible for the removal
of Snow from in front of his own house.
