Fourteen additional Lamps have been erected
during the past year, and seven discontinued, in consequence
of the Harrow Road Improvement, and the
widening of the Great Western Railway. The total
number of Public Lamps in lighting, including those
on Urinals and in Kilburn Lane, being 1,747.
The working of the Meters, &c., continues to give
general satisfaction, and the Vestry may congratulate
themselves upon now paying only for the actual
quantity of Gas consumed. In testimony of the favor
in which the Average Meter System is held as an
equitable mode of purchasing Gas, it may be remarked
that during the past year three large Metropolitan
Parishes have followed the example of Paddington.
I am,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
GEORGE WESTON,
Inspector of Public Lighting
for the Parish of Paddington.
