Underground Conveniences.
The Underground Convenience for men and women constructed
by the Board in Shaftesbury Avenue continues to
be of great public advantage. The gross receipts from the
Convenience during the past year amounted to £381 17s. 9d.
The question of providing a new Underground Convenience
at the junction of New Oxford Street and Charing Cross
Road was decided on in the month of February, and the
tender of Messrs. C. W. Killing back and Co. for the construction
of the same for the sum of £2,379 was accepted
on the 19th March. Towards the cost of this Messrs.
Meux and Co., Limited, have agreed to make a contribution
of £500, in consideration of the Board removing the urinal
in Bainbridge Street and consenting to the cul de sac
leading out of Dyott Street, and known as New Street,
being closed.
