the owners.
At present this has not been done, but I hope to be
able in my next report to announce the completion of
this most necessary work.
URINAL IN AUSTIN STREET.
Numerous complaints having been received as to the
condition of the corner of Austin street and Hackney
road, which was used as a sort of irregular urinal,
the place was visited by the Committee, and a recommendation
was sent up to the Yestry that a proper
urinal be erected at the spot.
The authorities of the Parish of Shoreditch being
communicated with, agreed to give a strip of the
churchyard for the purpose, on condition that a
portion of the urinal should be so arranged as to be
entered from the churchyard for the use of the congregation.
A faculty was obtained, and the urinal
was erected by the Shoreditch Yestry, in conjunction
with our Sanitary Committee. The original agreement
between the two Yestries was that we should
contribute £\ 00, but £25 extra was paid by the Parish
of Bethnal Green towards the cost of setting back the
wall of the churchyard for the purpose of widening
the pavement at the corner of Austin street and
Hackney road ; that portion of the urinal in Austin
street is now entirely under the control of this Yestry,
and we have to keep it clean and lighted.
