for the year. The wages of one man employed in cleansing the
Urinals was £59 5s. 7d.
As regards the general condition of the Parish, 1 may state that
llie carriageway paving (with few exceptions) is in very fair order; the
following streets must shortly be repaved:—
Hoxton Street—(portions of)
Holywell Lane
New North Street
St. John's Road
and Uaggorstone Road
The footway paving (except in a few instances) is in very good
older.
The condition of the sewers is also satisfactory (except in a few
instances, some of which have been ordered to be re-constructed.)

Your obedient Servant,
