instead of according to the actual Parish Boundary, viz.:—
Regent Street, Piccadilly, Burlington Gardens, St. James's
Street, and Park Place. No payment is made by either
Vestry to the other under this order, the exchange of area
being regarded as an equivalent.
An order was made by the Metropolitan Board of Works
on the 21st December, 1883, placing so much of the
carriageway of Wardour Street as lies south of Meard's
Court under the exclusive management of the Vestry for
the purpose of cleansing and maintenance, and the
remainder of the street under the exclusive management,
for the same purposes, of the Strand District Board.
An arrangement made some years since with the Vestry
of St. Martin-in-the-Fields for the apportionment of
Coventry Street as regards the cleansing and paving, in
consequence of the boundary line being somewhat irregular
is still in force.
