TO THE
VESTRY OF THE PARISH OF PADDINGTON,
Gentlemen,
In submitting this Report as to the first
Parochial year's working of the Average Meter System
by which the consumption of Gas burnt by the Public
Lamps has been ascertained by measurement, I beg to
inform you that the system, after 18 months trial, still
continues to work most satisfactorily, and with justice
to supplier and consumer.
Under section 7 of the Metropolitan Referees
Notification, it is required once a year to take out all
the Meters for the purpose of cleaning, examining and
testing as to friction. The 30th September, 1875,
being the close of the first twelve months' working,
they were taken out, thoroughly examined as to friction,
and at the same time I considered it necessary to
test them as to registration, the results obtained are
now submitted for your inspection.
