The whole of the Urinals in the Parish were tarred,
and were cleansed twice daily till August, when it
being considered desirable to maintain a more efficient
cleansing, an additional urinal flusher was put on,
and from that time every urinal has been cleansed
thrice daily.
I have the honor to remain,
Gfntlemen
Your obedient Servant,
WILLIAM IRON,
Surveyor.
