was returned to Penge. The new roller was much wanted. I
could find use for another roller, which it would be advantageous
to purchase soon.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Crystal Palace District Electric Light Company appealed
to the Board of Trade against a decision of this Board that certain
pipes (to carry cables) should be laid in the carriage-ways instead
of the footways I attended the hearing of the appeal, with the
Clerk to the Board, and the Board of Trade upheld this Board's
order.
Notices were fixed at each end of all the public footpaths in
this division indicating that there was a public footpath, and the
point to which it led.
A great many tablets were fixed to public lamps showing
street names. At the request of the London County Council the
nearest lamp post to each fire alarm in the division was painted
red, in order to show the positions of the fire alarm posts at night.
The lengths of all the Streets maintained by the Board, and
a list of the automatic flushing tanks are appended to this report.
The London County Council sent requests for suggestions on
39 applications made to them for permission to build beyond the
general line, and tor formation of New Streets; the manner in
which each was dealt with is shown in a tabulated statement in
the Appendix.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
ERNEST VAN PUTT EN,
Assoc. Memb. List. C.E.
Assistant Surveyor to the Board.
