TO THE
VESTRY OF PADDINGTON.
Public Lighting Department ;
June, 1879.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit the Fifth Annual Report,
ending Lady-day, 1879, as to the working of this
Department.
The Meter System continues to work satisfactorily.
In accordance with the order of the 18th February,
1879, the alteration of taking the average by one
meter in twenty lamps throughout the Parish, instead
of one in twelve as formerly, commenced on the 1st
January last. The disused meters and boxes are now
being taken up, cleaned, repaired, and repainted, and
taken into store.
The services throughout the Parish are now in a
much better state than formerly. 163 Notices have
been served on the Gas Company for the rectification
of stoppages in service pipes.
The reported number of defects in the Metered
and Scale Lamps will be seen in the accompanying
table.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
GEORGE WESTON,
Inspector of Public Lighting
for the Parish of Padclington.
