The supply of water in the Kent Company's District was
good during the season, but the supply in the Lambeth Company's
District was deficient, and interfered with the work being
as efficiently done as it would have been had the supply been better.
I believe the Company's officers did their best to meet our
demands.
The Greenwich Boundary Roads were watered by us under
an agreement with the Greenwich Board of Works, and also the
road of Sydenham Hill according to agreement with the Camberwell
Vestry. The Lambeth Company reduced the price £5 per
mile for some of the Roads, making a total saving of £87 10s.

336 lamps lighted by the Crystal Palace District Gas Company
in the Hamlet of Penge. The present sum paid for lighting the
street lamps is as follows: —In the South Metropolitan Gas Company's
District £3 17s. per lamp per annum, and in the Crystal
Palace e District Gas Company's District £4 0s. 3d. This price
includes cleaning, lighting the lamps, and extinguishing them,
also painting the lamp columns. The Crystal Palace District
(Jos Company, in September, reduced their price Is. 7d. per lamp
per annum. This will effect a saving of £77 10s. 1d. per annum.
