The brick urinal which had stood for some years outside the
St. John's-gardens, Horseferry-road, has been demolished on
account of its dilapidated condition, and a 3-stall iron urinal
erected at a cost of £22 3s. 0d.
In conclusion, I would say that every credit is clue to the
superintendent and horsekceper, who have worked together with
a view to carry out their duties efficiently and economically;
and although the estimates have been slightly exceeded I feel
that the parish has reaped a benefit through the Vestry's
decision to annihilate the system of cleansing and watering the
streets, and removing house refuse by contract.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
G. R. W. WHEELER, A.M.I.C.E.,
Surveyor.
