VESTRY OF THE PARISH OF PADDINGTON.
Public Lighting Department,
June 18th, 1880.
Gentlemen,
I have to submit the Sixth Annual Report
ending Lady-day, 1880, as to the working of this
department.
Satisfactory results are still obtained from the
Meter System.
Since September last the whole of the repairs and
glazing of the lanterns (formerly executed by contract)
have been done by men in the employ of the Vestry;
during that period, viz., six months, three lampposts
have been knocked down, twelve columns
broken, ten head-irons, and ten lanterns damaged.
In nine cases the parties causing such damage have
been discovered and the expenses paid by them.
The lamp services throughout the Parish are
now in a most efficient state. The number of
notices sent to the Gas Company during the year
for the rectification of stoppages being 124.
The accompanying tables will show the reported
number of defects in the Metered and Scale Lamps
during the twelve months.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
GEORGE WESTON,
Inspector of Public Lighting
for the Parish of Pad. ding ton.
