that street. In deference, however, to the opposition offered by
residents in the locality, the Vestry did not proceed further in the
matter, although they still incline to the opinion that a well-kept
urinal would prove less objectionable to the neighbourhood than the
promiscuous committing of nuisances as at present.
Two convictions have been obtained during the year for posting
objectionable bills in public urinals in the Parish.
The cost of maintaining the urinals during the year is as
follows:—
£ s. d.
Water for flushing 129 7 9
Wages for cleansing 62 8 0
Painting, etc., Urinals 65 5 6
£257 1 3

CABMEN'S SHELTERS.
The Vestry willingly assented, in the year 1882, to an application
by Miss Jackson, daughter of the Bishop of London, for
permission to place a Cabmen's Shelter in St. James's Square.
The shelter has since been provided, and will be maintained at
private expense.
