and other persons of small means, under the direction of the
Society. Arrangements are now being made for several additional
pieces of land to be lent to the Society for similar purposes.
Advertisements
Regulation.
95. A Committee of the London County Council, who have
had under consideration the question of making
Bye-laws under Section 2 (2) of the Advertisements
Regulation Act, 1907, suggested that the proposed Bye-laws
should apply to all districts in which public parks, gardens, and
open spaces are situated, and the Borough Council asked that the
following open spaces under its control should be included in the
schedule of places to which the proposed Bye-laws would be
applicable, viz.:—Coronation Gardens, Leader's Gardens, and
Garratt Park.
Restaurant
and Laundry
Refuse.
96. The Islington Borough Council having suggested that
the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, should be
amended so as to include in the definition "trade
refuse," refuse produced by restaurants, hotels, laundries, and
similar trading institutions, the London County Council invited
the observations of the Metropolitan Borough Councils thereon,
and on the question of the possibility of instituting a system of
daily removal. In reply, the County Council was informed that
this Council was in favour of the suggestion of the Islington
Borough Council; that in this Borough refuse of the description
referred to was removed twice, and sometimes three times a week,
and that the Borough Council was of opinion that that was
sufficient.
Sanitary
Conveniences
on streatham
Common.
97. For some time past the Borough Council has been in
communication with the London County Council on
the subject of the necessity of providing sanitary
conveniences for the use of persons frequenting
Streatham Common. After considerable correspondence, the
County Council adopted a scheme for the construction of conveniences
for both sexes on the lower part of the Common, adjacent
to Streatham High Road, at an estimated cost of £515,
provided the Borough Council contributed one-third of the actual
cost. The Borough Council agreed to this condition, subject to
the contribution not exceeding £171 13s. 4d., and the work of
erecting the conveniences is now in progress.
