To the Chairman and Vestry of St. Jamess,
Westminster.
Vestry Hall, Piccadilly,
June 1865.
Reverend Sir, My Lords, and Gentlemen,
In accordance with the requirements
of the Act of Parliament and annual custom, I have
again the honor of presenting a list of the various
Works that have been executed by the Yestry in
the department under my superintendence.
A great part of this work, as I have often
before stated, is of a routine character, and as far
as Paving Works are concerned, is included under
the heads of gas and water companies' trenches
which have been made good, and places disturbed
by private individuals for various purposes.
As the cost of these works is re-imbursed to
the Yestry, no corresponding figures will be found
against the items.
It must, however, be remembered that the
making good these openings is a most important
