Street and Waterloo Place, and columns of the Metropolitan
Board of Works pattern erected round the wide part of
Waterloo Place. The names of the side streets are shown on the
corner lamps. The refuge lamps have been famished with a
"midnight arrangement," and a man is now employed by
your Vestry to light, extinguish, and clean these lamps and
those in the urinals, and also to reduce tho light at 12 o'clock
at night.
SEWERS.
At the upper end of Argyll Street, the sewer, a small brick
barrel which had become very defective, was removed and
earthenware pipes laid in lieu thereof. The work was carried
out as far as possible underground to prevent disturbing the
wood paving.
Several of the small subsidiary sewers running under the
vaults of the houses in Regent Street have been partially
blocked. In each case the stoppage was removed, and where
found necessary the old barrel drain destroyed and earthen
ware pipes substituted.
The cost of repairing sowers, bricking up old disused
drains, new side entrance covers, Ac., amounted to the sum of
£72 l1s. 7d. for the year.

£218 l1s. 2d. They are situate as follows:—
Angel Court 1
Archer Street 3
