GLENGALL WHARF.
The enormous growth of the Parish work,
especially in the Slopping and Dusting Departments,
and the exhaustion of nearly every means
of local deposit, caused your Committee to take
measures for increasing the wharfage space at their
disposal. After joint consultation with the Sewers
and Sanitary Committee, it was decided to recommend
the Vestry to accept an offer to lease a vacant
wharf on the west side of Glengall Road, on the
banks of the canal, the property of Mr. Hart, upon
the following terms:— The Leasehold portion is held
from the Surrey Commercial Dock Company, for
20 years, at £90 per annum, and for the beneficial
interest therein, the Vestry paid the sum of ^850.
The Freehold portion the Vestry decided not then
to purchase, but to rent the same for a term of 60
years, at £50 per annum. Upon these terms the
Vestry have obtained a most eligible central position,
for the collective works of Slopping, Dusting,
&c., within easy distance of all the principal roads
