METROPOLITAN WATER COMPANIES' CHARGES.
A letter was addressed to this Vestry from the Vestry of
Westminster objecting to the existing right of the Water Companies
to increase their charges in acoordance with the increased
rateable value of premises on each quinquennial period of valuation.
By direction of the Vestry a letter expressing the views to the like
effect of this Vestry was sent to the Local Government Board.
IMPROVEMENTS.
A considerable area of land toward the eastern end of and on
the south side of Columbia Road having been cleared with a view
to rebuilding, the Vestry, in March, 1890, on the recommendation
of the Works Committee, referred it to the Committee to ascertain
and report on what conditions a portion of the land might be
devoted to the widening of the road.

Vestry Clerk.
