ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
A contract was entered into with the Maxim-Weston
Electric Company Limited for lighting Pcntonville
Road with their Swan Incandescent lamps, and the
thoroughfare was so lighted from 19th October, 1882.
STREET WATERING.
The Street watering was done by the Vestry's own
vans, 4,465,000 gallons of water being used, the
amount paid for which, including rent of meters, was
£248 1s. 1d.
URINALS.
Complaints having been made of the condition of
the Angel Mews urinal, it was taken down and reconstructed
on an improved principle, with a separate trap
for each compartment. Most of the other urinals also
had similar traps placed in them. The urinals at
Mount Pleasant, King's Cross Road, St. John Street
Road, and Clerkenwell Green were repaired. The
whole of the urinals were tarred and painted; and were
cleansed twice daily.
I have the honor to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
WILLIAM IRON,
Surveyor.
