The buildings erected in the Parish during the

yard and wharf premises.
Previously to the erection of these buildings,
notices were received by the Vestry from builders,
in compliance with the requirements of the Local
Management Acts. At the same time, notices were
given, accompanied by plans, showing the method of
proposed drainage of the buildings in question, and
the Vestry thereupon made the necessary orders,
which were served upon the respective builders.
Copies of the Vestry's orders attached to the
before-mentioned notices are retained in this Department
for future reference.
