ii. For the purpose of enabling the Hammersmith
Council to construct a new road to be made from Wood
Lane to Latimer Road, both in the Borough, between
the points A and B on the plan and section marked A,
the Company to give up so much of the land required to
form the said road as the Company shall acquire to a
width of 50 feet, and to dedicate the same to the public
for the purpose of making and forming the said new
road, and to contribute towards the construction of the
said new road such a sum as will cover the extra cost
involved in the construction thereof by reason of the
construction of railways Nos. 3 and 4, and by reason
of the alteration of the site of the proposed new road
from that originally contemplated by the Hammersmith
Council between the points C and D on the said plan
and section, and the said extra cost shall include the
sum of £1,770, which the Trustees of the estate of
Augustus Bird offered to contribute towards the expense
of the construction of the road through their
property at the point originally contemplated, and the
Company at all times hereafter, at their own expense, to
maintain the structure of the bridge necessary to carry
the said new road over the said railways Nos. 3 and
4. And the Company to consent to the continuation of
the proposed new road under the West London Railway
at the point marked E on the said plan, and to use their
best endeavours to obtain a like consent from the London
and North Western Railway Company, subject to proper
terms and conditions with regard to the payment for
the easement under the said railway, and the manner
in which the works are to be carried out being agreed
between the parties;
