One of Sugg's Patent Westminster Lamps has been erected on the
"Refuge" at the junction of Sclater-street and Bethnal Green-road.
The light afforded by that lamp admitted of the lamp at the junction
of Bethnal Green-road and Church-street and the lamp opposite No.
112, Bethnal Green-road, being removed. The erection of some more
of Sugg's lamps is contemplated. The gas for the Sugg lamp is supplied
by metre.
STEAM ROLLER.
Notice was given to the Gas Light and Coke Company that it would
be necessary to use the steam roller to properly repair Hassard-street
after the opening of the carriageway by the company. The company
objected that the use of the roller would injure their main and pipes;
to which it was replied that if injuries were caused, the Vestry would
be liable to repair them. The roller was used without any injury being
caused, but the company sent in a claim for £45 18s. 6d. for alleged
injuries. The claim was for damage done in May, 1881, but previously
to that date the roller had not been used in Hassard-street for two
years, and the claim proving to be groundless was withdrawn.

Washhouses," to determine whether the Act should be adopted for

The subject was referred to a Committee of the Whole Vestry.
The Committee reported that it was not advisable to adopt the Act for
this Parish at present, and the report was adopted by the Vestry.
NEW STREETS.

the Vestry, the future maintenance and repair has been assumed by
