stating that the travelling expenses of the workmen
in addition to wages was a very heavy item
in the Association's expenditure. The Vestry had

ST. JAMBS' CHURCHYARD, PENTONVILLE.
The boundary wall between the western garden
and the main entrance to the Church was rebuilt
at a cost of £35.
OPEN SPACES.
A Sub-Committee of the Works Committee was
appointed to take charge of the Open Spaces under
the control of the Vestry, and a very great improvement
was effected in the general appearance
of the squares and churchyards. The Vestry
agreed to spend a larger sum for providing plants,
&c., and the result has thoroughly justified the
outlay.
CLAREMONT SQUARE AND LLOYD
SQUARE.
A footway has been formed round the enclosures
of these two squares, and a very decided improvement
effected thereby in the appearance of the
squares, the channels previously being made use of
largely as a rubbish shoot.
