METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT,
18th & 19th Victoria, Cap. 120.
The Destry of the Darish of St. Mary, Lambeth.
THIRD ANNUAL REPORT.
Pursuant to the 198th Section of the Metropolis Local
Management Act, the Vestry have to report their proceedings
in the execution of that Act, and of the Works commenced and
completed by them during the year, or remaining in progress at
its termination.
In effecting Improvements, the Vestry have been actuated
by a desire to extend the benefits thereof as widely as possible,
and to avoid any increase of local taxation.
It will be found that many new Works have been executed
during the year, particularly as regards Sewerage and Paving
Works. The Public Lighting has also been increased, and consequently
the benefits to the Rate Payers, and Public at large,
have been proportionate.
The following are the various Improvements effected during
the year, hereafter described under the respective heads of
Sewerage, and Street and House Drainage Works, &c., at page 4 ;
Sanitary Matters, at page 7 ; Highways, New Works, and
Improvements, at page 15 ; and Lighting Matters, at page 17.
