Attendances of
Members.
Appended to this report is given a summary of
attendances of Members at the Vestry and
Committee meetings during the year.
Committees of
the Vestry.
At the first meeting of the Vestry after its
re-constitution in May, the Standing Committees
were revised in compliance with the Bye Law No. 32.
Two of the Standing Committees (the Works and General
Purposes Committee and the Street Cleansing and Sanitary
Committee) were amalgamated to consider a reference from
the Vestry having for its object the establishment of a system
of street cleansing, watering and dusting, entirely controlled
by the Vestry, in preference to the execution of such
service by contract. The proceedings of this Committee
are summarised hereafter.
The Works and
General Purposes
Committee.
The United Vestry, consisting of one hundred
members, having taken the place of the late
District Board of Works with its fifty-seven, it
was deemed advisable to enlarge this Committee from
eighteen to twenty-four members, as provided in the 32nd
Bye Law. The Committee underwent revision at the
meeting of the Vestry on 13th June, the following being
