duly audited, and allowed by the Auditors elected by the
Parishioners.
For the purpose of efficient publication, it was determined,
by Resolution of Vestry passed at a Meeting held on
the 9th day of May, 1861, that the Accounts of the Lambeth
Burial Board should be printed in this Report. To give
effect to such direction, an Abstract Account of amounts
received and paid by the said Board from the 25th day of
March, 1860, to 24th day of March, 1861, is set forth at
page 40.
The Accounts of the said Board have been duly audited,
as evidenced by the certificate appended thereto.
SEWERAGE, HOUSE DRAINAGE WORKS, &c.
In consequence of the progress made with works of this
description during the preceding years of the Vestry's operations,
the result of last year is by comparison small, and it is
rendered less by the course consistently pursued by the
Vestry to avoid doing anything not of a permanent character,
or which would not accord with and work into the main
scheme of Drainage in course of construction by the Metropolitan
Board of Works. With but very few exceptions all
the Sewers remaining to be constructed will discharge into
the new main lines; and until they are completed, and have
a clear outlet or discharge, but little more can be done in
the Parish, This cause has prevented several works which
were determined upon, so long since as the last Report, being
carried out up to the present time.
The plans of what will be necessary have however been
well considered, so that as soon as the opportunity occurs for
carrying them out, no time will be lost.
