From the above it will appear that rain fell on 137 days, and
1.55 inches less rain fell this year than in the corresponding period
last year.
As there was so little frost and rain daring the year, the
the roads were maintained with a less quantity of material than
estimated. The Roads are in good condition. The repairs to the
High Street, Lewisham, have been kept back in expectation of the
Tramway being laid: I have now this road under repair. Three
new Slop Carts were purchased. I find the difficulty of disposing
of the slop and road sweepings increases year by year, as the old
shoots are closed and done away with, by reason of building operations,
&c.
ROAD WATERING.
The greater part of the Road Watering at Blackheath was done
by Mr. George Sabin, of Rushey Green, at a contract price of 9s.
per horse, harness, and driver per day. The road watering in
Lewisham, Rushey Green, and Southend was chiefly done by the
Board's own horses and men.
Mr. Wm. Stimpson supplied horses, harness, and men for road
watering at Sydenham and Forest Hill, at 8s. 8d. per day.
Mr. R. Hatchings did the work of road watering in Lower
Sydenham, at 8s. 6d. per day for horse, harness, and driver.
Mr. R. Winnifrith carried out the road watering in the Hamlet
of Penge, at 7s. Gd. per horse, harness, and driver per day.
The water vans and carts were supplied bv the Board in all cases.
The Table below will give the number of miles watered in
each Division during the year:—
