REPOET
OF THE
COMMITTEE OF WORKS
OK
Dusting, Slopping, &c.,
For the year to 25 th March, 1881.
October 2 5 th, 1881.
As a year has now elapsed since the Vestry undertook the
work of doing its own dusting, slopping, &c., we beg to submit
a brief report upon the matter since the commencement of the
undertaking to the 25th March, 1881.
On the 20th November, 1879, a resolution was passed at the
Yestry that information should be obtained from the Parishes
who do their own work as to the practicability and economy
of the system. On the 24th December the replies were laid
before the Committee of Works, and on the 14th January, 1880,
a Sub-Committee was appointed to make enquiries as to the
practicability of obtaining a Wharf and Stabling sufficient for
the requirements of the Vestry.
The Committee having reported on the eligibility of a Wharf
on the Regent's Canal in Macclesfield Street, the Board, on the
5th February, 1880, resolved that they would in future do their
own work, and it was referred to the Committee of Works to
consider as to the details of the work ; and on the 23rd February
the tender of Messrs. Hayes & Son for eight Vans at £49 10s.
each, and of Messrs. Bayley & Co. for four Carts at £30 each was
accepted.
