STREET REFUGE.
One Street Refuge was constructed in Spencer
Street by Goswell Road.
COURT FLUSHING.
The Courts and Alleys in the Parish were washed
at night and sprinkled with Carbolic Acid from
August 8th to September 5th.
ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Pentonville Road was lighted by the Maxim-Weston
Electric Company, with their incandescent lamps till
the 13th June, but this system of lighting being
considered unsatisfactory, the Company, at their own
expense, placed 10 arc lights, of an estimated power
of 1500 candles each, in lieu of the incandescent
lamps. It was, however, considered by the Yestry
unadvisable to continue the lighting of this thoroughfare
with Electric Light after the 27th September,
and it has been since lighted with Gas.
STREET WATERING.
The Street Watering was done by the Vestry's own
vans, extra horses being hired as required, 4,538,000
gallons of water being used, the amount paid for
which, including rent of meters, was £251 lis. lid.
URINALS.
One 4-stall Urinal was erected in St. John's Square.
