April 3. Mr. Westcott to the Medical Officer of Health:—
Q. Why do you not report to the Vestry under the Metropolis Management
Act, 18 and 19 Vic. chap. 120, sec. 133, which clearly defines that
it is the duty of Inspectors of Nuisances to report to the Vestry of
scavenging and other nuisances P
A. Section 133 of the Metropolis Local Management Act of 1855, 18 and 19
Vic. cap. 120, was repealed by the Public Health (London) Act of
1891.
April 17. Mr. Bridges to the Clerk:—
Q. What are the stabling and other erections in Kingston Street owned
by Mr. Brown of Watling Street rated at, and how long have
rates been paid for the same ?
A. The rate books not being under the control of the Vestry, I have no
means of answering this question. I should advise Mr. Bridges to
look at the rate books as a ratepayer.
May 1. Mr. Lane to the Clerk:—
Q. When will our workmen receive their badges or numbers ?
A. I shall feel obliged if Mr. Lane will repeat his question at the next
Vestry.
July 10. Mr. Westcott to the Clerk:—
Q. Has a licence been granted to Messrs. Terry to post on the hoarding
round the Baths site ?
A. A licence was granted on the 5th inst., Messrs. Terry paying the usual
fees and giving an undertaking to clear the hoarding of bills at the
expiration of the licence; but had it occurred to me at the time of
granting the licence that the hoarding was to be used for posting
the bills of one political party only, I certainly would not have
granted the licence.
July 24. Mr. Green to the Clerk:—
Q. Cannot something be done for the people in Devonshire Court and
Uxbridge Court, who on Sunday got their furniture damaged by the
overflow of the sewers during the storm ?
A. (The Clerk stated that he could not answer the question ; but the Chairman
stated that he understood from the Medical Officer that the
houses had been visited, and the matter was receiving his attention.)
Mr. Cole to the Clerk:—
Q. How many of the officers of the Vestry acted as poll clerks or presiding
officers at the recent Parliamentary Election, under the authority
given at the last Vestry meeting ?
A. Two.
Q. Can you say how many officers of the Governors and Guardians held
similar positions ?
A. Can't say.
