TREES
PLANTED ON THE FOOTWAYS,
The contract entered into between the Vestry and Mr. Holm
with reference to the Trees already planted on the footways, for the
maintenance for five years, has been so far satisfactorily carried out.
I would suggest that having now gained greater experience
as to the proper management of Trees, that the Lambeth Road
Westminster Bridge Road and Waterloo Road should be plante
with Plane Trees also.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
A. M. HISCOCKS, C.E.,
Surveyor
