Bozier's Court, Tottenham Court Road.

representations have continually been made to both the
Metropolitan Board of Works and the London County
Council upon the matter. Ultimately, after rejecting
several suggestions, the London County Council have
determined to proceed with the work, and have directed
application to be made in the forthcoming Session of
Parliament for the necessary powers.
London Sea-Water Supply Bill.
This was a Bill introduced with the object of
authorising the construction of works for supplying Sea
Water to certain parts of London and other places, and
for other purposes. The form in which the Bill was
introduced was such that it was necessary for the Board,
in order to obtain the insertion of clauses for the protection
of the interests of the District, to present a Petition
against the same. Negotiations having ensued between
the promoters and the Board's officers, resulted in the
insertion of protective clauses, and the Board's opposition
to the Bill was withdrawn. At the time of preparing this
Report it had passed through the House of Commons, and
was awaiting consideration in the Upper House of
Legislature.
