LIGHTING.
The number of Public Lamps in the District is 799, being an
increase of three on the number reported at Lady-day, 1879.
The Board having considered the question of the supply of Gas
to the public lamps, appointed a Committee to consider and report
thereon; and it was resolved that a meter should be fixed to a lamp
on the north side of the Commercial Road, and one to a lamp on
the south side of High Street, Shadwell, in order to test the consumption
of gas. Arrangements were made with Mr. Sugg to
provide proper meters, which have been fixed accordingly.
PUBLIC URINALS.
One new slate Urinal, with one compartment, has been
erected in Salmon's Lane, Limehouse.
The number of Urinals in the District is 21.
The Urinals are flushed and cleansed with water by men
employed by the Board, and have been maintained in good order.
CLEANSING & WATERING.
The principal streets are cleansed daily, and the others every
second day, but daily in bad weather.
During the past season the whole of the streets, &c., have been
constantly watered by the Contractors with water from the East
London Water Works.
