District, proper covered carts or wagons which he had caused
to be constructed especially for the purposes of the District.
The Board believes that the wagons are a great improvement,
and that the complaints which were frequently
received previously as to the annoyance caused by the contents
of the dust-bin being blown about in the public ways
will now be obviated.
Improvement.
The widening of Bucknall Street, formerly Church Lane
received the attention of the Board several years since, but
it was not until the present year that the lease of certain
properties fell in which enabled the Board to call upon the
Owner the Rev. Henry Hanmer to carry out the Agreement
which had been entered into with his predecessor.
The Reverend Gentleman immediately complied with the
request and the improvement has since been completed.
Projections Into, Over, and Beneath the Public Way.
This subject which is one of extreme importance and at
the same time of considerable difficulty has received a great
deal of attention at the hands of the Board during the past
year.
The obstructions which, on being continually placed above,
on, and under the Public Way, were felt by the Board to be
of so important a nature that they referred the question to
the Works Committee for consideration and Report and the
Committee have requested the Clerk and Surveyor to present
a detailed Report upon the subject which will shortly
be done and the subject will then be further considered.
