"That in the opinion of this Vestry it is very undesir"able
that any alteration should be made in the present
"arrangements for the maintenance of main roads, as the
"taking over of these roads by the Council would inflict
"hardship on the poorer parishes, and on those not
"centrally situate, who would be called upon to contribute
"towards the maintenance of the expensive roads in
"the Centre and West of London, and such contribution
"would in all probability largely exceed the sum they
"might receive from any common fund raised for the
"purpose of maintaining the main roads."
The Council appear eventually to have adopted this
view, as when they had received the applications from
the whole of the local authorities, they refused to
entertain any of them, and resolved to take some steps
with a view to the amendment of that portion of the
Act relating to main roads, as being inapplicable to
