scheme, but remarked that the Order of the Local
Government Board had deprived the County Council of
any choice in the matter.
It thus appeared that at last steps were actually about
to be taken in regard to this long delayed improvement,
but it was not to be, for on May 5th the Town Clerk
informed the Public Health Committee that a report on
the Agenda of the London County Council for that week
showed that the Comptroller of the Council had been
in communication with the Treasury on the subject of
capital expenditure, and inter alia had mentioned the
Brady Street area. In reply, the Treasury stated that in
conformity with what was being done in other cases,
work in connection with the scheme should not at present
be proceeded with, as it entailed expenditure which
could not be dealt with otherwise than by loan.
There the matter at present rests.
The plans in the appendix show (1) The area referred
to in my official representation, and (2) The
sections of the area referred to in the Order of the Local
Government Board, which the London County Council
propose to deal with in succession, and which are
coloured pink and blue, respectively.
