GENERALLY.
In addition to the heavy current work appertaining to the Works Committee
which has so materially increased, and which necessitates mu6h care and consideration,
various undertakings by other Committees, such as new buildings for the
Scavenging wharf, the heating of the Town Hall, the acquisition of the old Fire
Brigade Station and its suggested alteration for Vestry purposes, the improvements,
drainage and new erections at the Churchyards and Open Spaces carried out for the
Housing Committee, besides matters of proposed private undertakings under the
consideration of the Parliamentary Committee, have been reported upon, plans
prepared for, and the work directed by me, without the aid of the usual outside assistance,
and this has been the means of a considerable saving in professional fees to the
Vestry.
