It was felt impossible to make any distinction, and the Vestry decided
not to interfere.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The sale of " Goddard's Rents" to the Great Eastern Railway
Company has been completed, and the purchase-money (^750), with
/'6 os. 8d., interest, received.
An arrangement has been made with the Vestry of Mile End for the
hire of their steam road roller at £'z 5s. a day, including fuel.
It has been decided to return to the plan adopted some years since
of the Vestry doing the work of reinstating streets and roads after
openings made by the Gas and Water Companies, and to charge the
cost to the Companies, instead of letting the contractor of the Companies
do the work.
The Vestry laid before the East London Water Company a statement
of the facts connected with one of their turncocks having kept
about forty houses without water for two days out of revenge for some
annoyance. After enquiry by the Company, the man was dismissed
from their employ.
The Vestry have found it advisable to enforce the costs of summonses
for rates, and instructed the collectors to require the pa)ment
of the charge for every summons issued.
