contractors for the refuge and special street lamps and lamp
columns were Messrs. Wm. Sugg and Co., of Vincent Works.
Regency Street, Westminster, S.W.
The refuge lamps are furnished with a "midnight
arrangement," and a man is employed by your Vestry to
light, extinguish, and clean these lamps and those in the
urinals, and also to reduce the light at 12 o'clock at night.
The cost of new lamps, alterations, repairs, maintenance,
painting, &c., has been £437 4s. 1d.

various kinds of gas burners and the electric light, with a

for lighting the main thoroughfares, and have referred the
carrying out of the same to your Works Committee.
