During the year 17 large refuge lamps have
been erected in some of the principal thoroughfares
in the Parish.
Tablets have been placed in the lamps stationed
at the corners of the streets throughout the Parish,
with the names of the streets and roads in illuminated
letters.
The lamp services generally throughout the
Parish are maintained by the Gas Company in an
efficient manner. 128 notices have been sent to them
during the year for the rectification of stoppages, &c.
The annexed table shows the reported number of
defects in the Metered and Scale Lamps during the
twelve months.
The Average Meter System still continues to give
every satisfaction.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
GEORGE WESTON,
Inspector of Public Lighting
for the Parish of Paddington.
