LIGHTING.
In the past year, 60 Applications have been received for
improved Lighting in various parts of the Parish, 16 of
which were refused, and 44 were acceded to by the erection
of 32 Lamps, and others being removed to positions of
greater utility.
The total number of Lamps lighted by the Vestry at the
date of the 25th of March, 1874, was 3018—and the cost of
Lighting for the year, including the erection of new columns,
removals, and other expenses, amounts to £13,083 2s. 2d.
Periodical experiments with the Photometer have been
regularly made; and monthly reports submitted by the
Chemical Examiner have shewn that the illuminating power
and purity of the Gas supplied by the several Companies,
have been up to the standard which they are bound to
supply.

Vestry Clerk.
