No. 120.—The leasehold interest of about 16 years unexpired
in this property with the buildings at the rear have been
acquired with vacant possession.
The Council has let the shop part of these premises on a
quarterly tenancy to Messrs. Hill & Co., for the purpose of an
auctioneer's and furniture dealer's business.
No. 140.—The occupier and sub-lessee, Mrs. Fishbien,
having intimated her willingness to dispose of her interest in
these premises, the Borough Surveyor entered into negotiation
with her, and terms were eventually agreed upon for the
purchase of the unexpired portion of her lease, which amounted
to about 6 years.
The premises were re-let to Mrs. Fishbien on a quarterly
tenancy, which was subsequently terminated, and the premises
let on a similar agreement to Mr. H. Cope.
(2) The Broadway.
Nos. 18 and 20.—The freehold of these premises required
for widening the Broadway for the proposed tramway to
Harlesden, has been acquired, after extended negotiation with
the representative of the owner.
The leasehold interest in No. 18 has also been acquired and
the premises have been let to the late leaseholder on a monthly
tenancy.
(3) Jeddo Road.
Negotiations have been in progress for the acquisition of
the land required for continuing this road into a new road to be
constructed, to be called Willoughby Road. The proposal as
reported last year necessitated the purchase of four building
plots, two in Hammersmith and two in Acton. It was eventually
agreed that the cost of the land required should be borne
equally by the two Councils, and each should defray the cost
of the roadmaking, paving and drainage works of the portion of
the road within its district. The work of making up and paving
the Hammersmith portion has been put in hand.
(4) Brook Green Road.
Notices to quit were served upon all the tenants of the
premises acquired by the Council in this road, vacant possession
being obtained of the property with the exception of
No. 22a.
