Boundary Wall.
The necessary consent not having been obtained to build the wall adjoining 23, Moodkee
Street,
The Vestry, on 1st February, 1898, Resolved—That the Surveyor be instructed to
build a 14 in. wall entirely on the ground attached to the "Jolly Sailor " p.h., at the
Vestry's expense, on the understanding that the wall becomes a party wall and the Vestry
have a right to use half thereof next to the Town Ilall property, and to have inserted in
such wall a stone setting forth the rights of the Vestry thereto, and to have a 9 in. wall
built entirely on the Vestry's property adjoining the ground attached to 23, Moodkee Street.
The portion of the Resolution relating to 23, Moodkee Street, was, however,
subsequently rescinded, and the following arrangement agreed upon:—
The wall to bo erected in a straight line upon a give-and-take boundary to be entirely upon
Mr. Higgs' ground at its junction with No. 23, and upon ground bel nging to the Vestry at the
other end; to be constructed in 9 in. brickwork with 3 additional 4½ in. piers upon Sir. Iliggs'
ground as shown upon the plan, to be 7 ft. high, exclusive of coping course above the present
level of the Town Hall yard, except for a distance of 14 feet from the junction with the backfront
wall of No. 23, where it is to be 4 ft. 3 ins. high, the same height as the present
wooden fence, surmounted with a wrought-iron vertical bar-fencing, carried to the same height as
the remainder of the wall; the whole of the work to be executed at the expense of the Vestry,
and, subject to the consent of the freeholder the wall to be the property of the Vestry. The
arrangement is shown upon the plan submitted.
