The subject of making arrangements for bathing in "Victoria Park in the
evening has been brought under consideration several times, but a motion
made to appoint a deputation to the Chief Commissioner, to press on him
the advisability of providing for evening bathing, was lost.
Several applications have been made to the Vestry with respect to the
proposed extension of the Roman Road to Stratford; but the Vestry did
not find it was possible to give any assistance, and the Metropolitan Board
of Works, after a Report by their engineer, Mr. Bazalgette, came to the
conclusion that the work could not be regarded as a metropolitan improvement,
or as meeting any local want of importance.

Vestry Clerk.
