The sum of £84 12s. 3d. was expended in labor in altering
the position of, and fixing new lamp columns and bracket irons, as
per order of Lamp Committee, in order to properly carry out the
average meter system.
As regards the general condition of the parish, I can state
that the carriageway paving, with few exceptions, is in very good
order, the following are the exceptions which must shortly be
repaved or repaired.
Hoxton Street (portions of)
Holywell Lane
Scrutton Street
St. John's Road
and Haggerstone Road.
The footway paving, except in a few instances, is in very
good order.
The condition of the sewers is also satisfactory.

Your obedient servant,
GEORGE CHARLES PERRETT,
Surveyor.
