TO THE
VESTRY OF PADDINGTON
Public Lighting Department,
Vestry Hall ;
20th June, 1878.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit my Fourth Annual Report,
ending Lady-day, 1878, relative to the working of
this Department.
The Average Meter System, which has now
been in force nearly five years, still continues to work
satisfactorily.
During the year only 80 Notices were served on
the Gas Company for the rectification of defective
supplies and stoppages in their service pipes, being a
decrease of 53 as compared with the previous year ;
showing that the services are now maintained more
efficiently than was formerly the case.
The accompanying tables will shew the number of
defects &c., that have been reported during the past
year :—
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
GEORGE WESTON,
Inspector of Public Lighting
for the Parish of Padding ton.
