compulsorily idle. In every other department it has
been a very busy year, more having been done from
various causes than I ever remember before—
though I do not anticipate any diminution in the
future, and the Public look for more and more
every year.
The Rupert Street extension can hardly be
classed among the ordinary works or duties of a
Vestry, and I have not put the amount in the List,
as it is almost a public matter. Still to a certain
extent it has been carried out and is a matter for
great congratulation, as the general continuation of
the street will certainly follow, and will prove a
greater benefit to the Neighbourhood, the Parish,
and the Public, than is at present credited or
imagined.
Thanking you for the continued confidence of
another year,
I have the honor to be,
Rev. Sir, my Lords, and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble servant,
ALBERT P. HOWELL.
