requisitions to be sent to the Metropolitan Board of
Works for the re-numbering of many streets within
this Parish, and that Board, having considered the
same, have accordingly issued the requisite legal
orders.
The notices for, and inspection of, such re-numbering,
and ultimate certificates that the same have been
properly carried out, has been the work of the Yestry
Officers. The roads so re-numbered are as under:—
Rye lane
Cobourg road
Mawby road
Cooper's road
Queen's road
And the necessary operations are now in hand in
respect to several other streets and roads, in addition
to those above enumerated.
Street Frontages, Projections, &c.
Not the least important of the duties confided to
your Committee is that of Street Frontages, &c. By
law no building projection of any description can now
be legally carried out without first submitting the same
to the Metropolitan Board of Works, that Board then
communicates all applications to the respective
Yestries, in order to obtain the assistance of the Local
bodies, before the Board arrives at a final decision.
