With reference to the work tarried out by the Vestry, the Expenditure shown hy Wharf account is about £400 less than previous year, which is accounted for by the purchase of plant and difference in prices of Fodder in the year
ending March, 1888. It will be seen by the Tabulated, Statement the last year's Watering is much less, and the Slopping more than previous year, the consumption of Water, as shown by the General Purposes account is for 1888,
.£2692, and for 1889, £2183, making a difference of <£5')9. An important alteration has been made in collecting the house dust in a portion of the Parish. Pails have been supplied to the houses, and the use of the dust bins
generally discontinued ; the Carts collect the dust twice in the week, so there is no accumulation to become a nuisance as under the former system of keeping the stuff until the bin was full. The alteration is very favorably
regarded by the people, and difficulty of bringing the work into system and control is completely got over by the new pails. The people who have not been supplied, and are still dependent upon their dust bins, are most
anxious for the change.
