Saint Leonard, Shoreditch.
To the Lighting Committee of the Vestry of
Saint Leonard, Shoreditch.
April, 1880.
Gentlemen,
In presenting the following Tables shewing the
operation of the Average Meter System during the second
year and a comparison with that under the Old System, I
beg to say that the total cost of Gas Lighting and
Maintenance to 1389 Lamps for the year is £5693 7s. 3d.
The cost under the Old System to 1224 Lamps would have
been nearly the same, being 165 Lamps in favor of present
system.
The difference between the cost of Gas Lighting and
Maintenance for the past two years, and what it would have
been under the Old System with the same number of Lamps,
and allowing for the reduction in the price of gas in each
case, is £1782 4s. 5½d., which is £286 12s. 11d½d. more
than covers the first outlay on Meters, etc. in favor of the
present system.
There is a further receipt of £52 3s. 1d. for Lamps to
be paid for by railways and theatres.
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
CHAS. DOUGHTY, Inspector.
