same way as the large sewers, therefore it has
been necessary to flush them with water as often
as required, and thereby improve their sanitary
condition.
In order to reduce the quantity of slop and other
road refuse from entering the sewers, the Vestry's
workmen have removed from the catchpits of gullies
2,224 cubic yards of deposit, or 32,469 separate removals
therefrom.
The condition of the sewers is greatly improved
by the removal of this large quantity of detritus,

The nine public urinals still continue to be
thoroughly cleansed and deodorised by the Vestry's
workmen daily.
The construction and reconstruction of 106

public streets, are amongst the various improvements
executed by the Vestry.
