TO THE
VESTRY OF THE PARISH OF PADDINGTON.
Works Department,
June 17th, 1882.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit the annual report relative
to the works of Dusting, Slopping, Watering,
Carting Road Materials, Smith's Work, and General
Repairs in connection with this Department; also
the Sweeping of the Public Highways for the year
ending Lady-day, 1882.
Dusting.— During the year 3,659 horses have
been engaged in dusting—the number of loads
collected being 18,388, which is an excess of 1,626
loads over that brought in six years since, when the
Vestry first commenced doing its own work. This
increase, in a great measure, has been due to the
rapid development of the Parish in the St. Peter's
Park district.
The daily average number of loads was 60.9
