CONCLUSION.
I hope in my next year's report to present statistics as to the
areas of each class of pavement, approximate lengths of mains
belonging to the several companies, and other matters which will
be of interest to the Vestry, and which I regret I have not been
able to include in this report, owing to want of complete information
thereon.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
CHAS. MASON, Assoc. M. Inst. C.E., A.R.I.B.A., etc.,
Surveyor to the Vestry.
