Total 2
Fifty-six lamps were moved in the Parish of Lewisham and
one in the Hamlet of Penge.
Four of the ordinary lamps on Lewisham Bridge were discontinued,
and Sugg's lanterns and burners, of 90 candle power,
fitted in their place. A Sugg's 60 candle power lamp was erected
at Bell Green.
COLLECTION OF DUST, &c.
The dust and ashes were collected in the Parish of Lewisham
by the Hoard's own horses and carts, assisted by hired horses when
requisite.
The Parish was divided, as last year, into five Districts, two
being again sub-divided. Some of the dust was given away on
account of the increasing difficulty of obtaining shoots.
From the following Table may be seen the Divisions of the
Parish and the names of the Persons to whom the dust was sold or
given.

Penge.
In the Hamlet of Penge, Mr. R. Winnifrith supplied horses
and carts for the collection of dust, &c., at a contract price of 5s.
per horse, cart, and harness. The men and boys were employed
by the Board. Two divisions were made for the disposal of dust
in the Hamlet, but a large portion of the dust was given away on
account of the difficulty of obtaining convenient shoots.
