the report suggested that the subject of providing the requisite
money should be referred to the Finance Committee. The report
was received and adopted.
The Finance Committee recommended that the requisite money
be obtained from the London County Council, at interest not
exceeding £3 10s. per cent. per annum.
It was ultimately decided, instead of borrowing at once the
whole £20,000 necessary, to borrow the amount in two equal
sums. In January the mortgage to the London County Council
for the first £10,000 was completed. In February it was resolved
to invite tenders for the work to be done in Austin Street, Bethnal
Green Road, Canrobert Street, Columbia Road (from Barnet
Grove eastward), Gosset Street, Old Ford Road, and Virginia
Road.
In March the tenders were received and opened, and that of
Mr. William Griffiths, which was the lowest, was accepted.
