Your Vestry decided to issue a Statutory Notice and a notice was accordingly
served upon the North Metropolitan Railway and Canal Company in November,
to the following effect:—
1.—To forthwith properly cleanse and scavenge the surface of so much of the
Regent's Canal and the hanks thereof as lie within the said Parish of St.
Pancras, and henceforth to do so three times a week, on alternate days,
throughout the months of June, July, and August in each year, and twice
in each week throughout the other remaining months in each year.
2.—To forthwith cleanse and scavenge the bottom of so much of the said
Canal as aforesaid, including the lay-byes and basins thereof, and to that
end to clear away and remove therefrom the mud and all other deposits,
by dredging, or other effective means, and henceforth to perform these
and any other necessary works once in each year.
3.—To concrete such parts of so much of the said Canal as aforesaid, including
the basins and lay-byes, and other places adjacent to wharves as are
likely to allow mud and other deposits to accumulate.
4.—To construct an overflow at the southern end of Cumberland Market
Basin, so as to change water in such basin and prevent stagnation thereof.
