Vestry should be let, or the lease of it sold, but it was determined to
retain it for twelve months.
An obelisk lamp has been ordered to be erected in the Old Ford Road,
at the junction with Grove Road. Tenders for providing it have been
obtained, and that by Messrs. McLaren at £22, being the lowest, has
been accepted. Particulars as to the other new lamps are given in the
Surveyor's Report.
The salary of the Hall Keeper has been raised to £105 per annum.
In January, Mr. William John Bradbrook, a very old member of the
Vestry, died. The Vestry passed a resolution expressing regret for the
loss they had sustained, and directing the Clerk to communicate the
resolution to Mr. Bradbrook's son.
