DIVERSION OF CHURCH PATH.
On the 5th January, 1886, the Vestry, having received through
the late District Board of Works an application from the United
Land Company to stop up Church Path, appointed a Committee to
view the path and report thereon to a future meeting of the Vestry,
and, on the 2nd February, 1886, following, the Committee reported
recommending that permission be granted to divert a portion of
Church Path on condition that the company pay to the Vestry the
sum of £200, and enter into an agreement with the Vestry to make
a kerbed and gravelled footpath on one side of the new roads being
formed, and extending continuously from the Greyhound Road to,
and connecting with, the paved portion of the said Church Path at
the Lillie Road end, and maintain the said path in good condition
until the said roads and footpaths shall be taken over by the
Vestry, and the Vestry directed that a copy of such report should
be sent to the District Board. On the 11th March, 1886, the
Vestry having received, through the District Board, a letter from
the United Land Company declining to accede to the terms of the
resolution passed by this Vestry on the 2nd February, 1886, the
matter was referred to the Law and Parliamentary Committee.
On the 6th April, 1886, the Committee reported recommending;
that, as the company had declined to agree to the proposals made
by the Vestry, they (the company) be called upon to re-instate
Church Path in its former condition, and on the 9th April, 1886,
the Clerk to the Vestry wrote the company informing them of the
Vestry's resolution.
At the Works Committee on the 9th February, 1887, a letter
was read from Messrs. Dalton and Jessett, on behalf of Mr. Tunley,
making application for the diversion of Church Path, from Lillie
Road to Mendora Road, across Delaford Street, when the subject
was ordered to be viewed, and at the meeting of the View Committee
held on the 16th February, 1887, it was resolved that the
A estry be recommended to consent to Mr. Tunley's request, provided
he pays the sum of £150 for the deviation of the footpath.
On the 2nd March, 1887, the above recommendation of the Committee
was referred back for further consideration, and on the 9th
March, 1887, the Committee again resolved to recommend the
Vestry to consent to Mr. Tunley's request provided he pays the
sum of £150 towards the expenses of diverting the path. At the
meeting of the Vestry held on the 16th March, 1887, the report of
