The Relief Attendants are :—
Males :—Saunders, R., Willis, J. W. and Langley, G.
Females :—Miss Ward and Mrs. Hulbert.
No progress has been made during 1904 with the erection of
the new Underground Convenience ordered by the Council on
February 7th, 1901, to be placed at the corner of York Road
and Waterloo Road—the delay being due to the fact that the
Borough Council has been awaiting the decision of the London
County Council as to the extension of the tram lines over
Waterloo Bridge. The plans of the Convenience have, however,
during 1904 been approved, and a specification ordered to be
prepared, quantities taken out, and tenders invited. The
accommodation is to be as follows :—
Men.—8 w.c's., 12 urinal stalls, and 4 lavatory basins.
Women.—5 w.c's., and 3 lavatory basins.
Three other schemes have been under consideration during
1904, connected with suggested new Conveniences :—
1. Kennington Park (at Kennington Gate).
2. Kennington Road (near the " Horns" Public House.)
*3. Brockwell Park (near Heme Hill Gate.)
It has been decided during 1904 to provide a Female Convenience
at Tooting Cemetery, near the gardener's lodge, and
within the cemetery railways, at a cost of £276. The accommodation
to be provided consists of 3 w.c's and 1 lavatory
basin.
During 1904, at the Brixton Convenience (males), new treads
have been provided at an estimated cost of £18 (Mason's patent
steel and lead, heavy pattern treads), and a lamp fixed to the
* flans have been already prepared shewing 5 w.c's. and 11 urinal stalls
for males, and 6 w.c's. for females.
