£170 13s. 3d. This amount is considerably below
the average cost, owing to the exceptionally wet
summer.
A Telephone was fixed on June 12th, 1888,
between the Vestry Hall and Phoenix Wharf.

carrying out the work of the parish.

I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
WILLIAM IRON,
Surveyor.
