Regulations were made for carrying this arrangement into effect, and
providing that a Schedule of Prices to be charged by the Vestry shall be
put up in the Surveyor's Office.
TRANSVERSE BOUNDARY, CHURCH STREET.
A transverse line of boundary has been arranged between the Vestrv and
the Vestry of Shoreditch, up to which the Vestry of Shoreditch and this
Vestry have agreed for the future to repair and cleanse the street.
IMPROVEMENT, PATRIOT SQUARE.
A claim was made on behalf of a gentleman, who alleged ho had a lease
for 900 years of a strip of ground at the South-east end of Patriot square,
which had been thrown into the public road ; but the Vestry declined to
recognise the claim.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Mr. Arthur Harston, of 15, Leadenhall street, was appointed to assist as
Surveyor in determining for tho Quinquennial Valuation List the Assessments
to be made on the North Metropolitan Tramway Company and the
East London Water Company.
r
The Gas Light and Coke Company gave notice, that the repairs to trenches
opened by the Company would henceforth be done by their contractor, and
required that in future all vouchers should besent to the Company. As
the Company had no right to do this, the Vestry refused, and insisted on
continuing to do the repairs. The Company had at last to give way, and it
was arranged that in future the Vestry should fill up the trenches " from the
pipe upwards," as well as do the work necessary for re-instating the surface
of the footway and carriageway.
In October an accident occurred in Arthur street, in consequence, it
was alleged, of a person being thrown from a cart, owing to rubbish having
been deposited by some unknown person. A claim for compensation was
made, and ultimately the claim was settled by payment of £20.
An accident was alleged to have been caused to Mrs. Carr by defect in
the paving in Wolverley street. Notice of action was served, but the
Vestry decided to resist the claim, and no further proceedings have been
taken in the matter.
