The London County Council's General Powers Bill, 1894,

Lincoln's Inn Fields by the Act of George II. were transferred
to the Council on terms agreed on and incorporated
in the Act, and the bye-laws made by the Council having
been applied to Lincoln's Inn Fields, the Gardens were
thrown open to the public by Sir John Hutton, Chairman
of the Council, on Saturday the 23rd February, 1895.
Employees' Holiday.
For the first time since the constitution of the Board a
day's holiday was voted to the employees, which took place
on Saturday the 7th July. The sum of £10 was voted by
the Board as an addition to the men's wages towards the
expenses, and certain contributions, amounting in the whole
to £4 13s. 6d., were made by individual members. On the
10th July a report was received stating that the outing had
been an entire success.

Clerk to the Board.
