BOROUGH OF PADDINGTON.
inspecting the lighting thereof, passed the following
recommendation, which was approved at the Vestry
on the 7th of November:—
" That the Surveyor be instructed to fix Victoria
lamps, with 10-feet per hour burners, on the
West side of Maida Vale, from Maida Hill
West to the Northern boundary of the Parish,
the lamps to be fixed Northwards from Maida
Hill West as and when the present lamps need
replacing by their being either worn out or
damaged by accident."

The difficulty of disposing of ashes and breeze
continues to increase, as I have repeatedly reported
would be the case owing to the enormous quantity
collected in the Metropolis, but I think principally to
the rapid development of the suburbs. As houses
extend nearer the brickfields it is to the interest of
brickmakers to obtain their materials from premises
contiguous to their fields, which necessarily decreases
their expenses of haulage, tonnage, and cartage. To
keep the wharves clear, in many cases payment has
had to be resorted to to induce the brickmakers to
boat it away.
