the estimated cost of carrying out this portion of the work,
with the passageway between the two blocks, is approximately,

It will be seen that it will be necessary to set back the
line of the new buildings to the line of the Carnegie Library,
so as to make a 50 feet roadway, in accordance with the
London County Council Improvement line.
The buildings first described have been designed so that
they may form part of the General Scheme for the extension
of the Town Hall, and sketch plans Nos. 2 and 3 shew that
the following accommodation could then be provided:—
Committee Room, Members' Room, New Suite of
Offices for Town Clerk's Department, and Contractors'
Room ; also a new Entrance Hall for the Large Hall
with Cloak Rooms (ladies' and gentlemen's) adjoining
main entrance, with Supper, Light Refreshments, Smoke
Room and Chair Storage Rooms on first floor.
Provision is also made for a Small Hall with Cloak Room
accommodation on ground floor and Refreshment and Crush
Rooms on first floor.
TRAMWAYS.
CONDITION OF TRACKS.
In accordance with the recommendation of the
Council, the Borough Surveyor submitted the following
report upon the condition of the wood paving in
various parts of the tramway routes within the Borough
repairable by the London United Tramways, Limited: —
In accordance with your instructions, I beg to report that
I have carefully examined the tramway tracks along Uxbridge
Road, Goldhawk Road, Glenthorne Road, Beadon Road,
Studland Street and King Street, between the Broadway and
Young's Corner, and beg to submit herewith a statement
shewing the condition of the paving in the several roads.
It will be seen from this statement that there are many
places where the track is in a bad state of repair, and is a
danger and annoyance to vehicular traffic.
