Thereupon your Committee arranged for, and held joint
meetings with the representatives of the Greenwich Board of
Works, and the Vestry on the 9th November last, agreed to and
adopted the resolutions of your Committee, which were to the
following effect:—To agree with the Greenwich Board of
Works to make up a moiety not exceeding £6,000 of the actual
cost of the Bridge, and to amplify the powers of the
joint Committee to enable them to urge upon the Metropolitan
Board their views as to the construction of the Bridge.
Your Committee subsequently held a conference as to the
contribution to be paid by the Greenwich District Board, this
Vestry, and the Landowners, who, according to the Agreement
prepared by the Metropolitan Board were to pay £6,000. At
this meeting it was decided to apply to the Metropolitan Board
to reduce the sum of £6,000; which the Board eventually
decided to reduce to £5,500 as the fixed sum to be contributed
by the District Board, this Vestry, and the Landowners;
this the Vestry have agreed to, and authorised the settlement
of the Draft Agreement on that basis, and that the Seal of the
Vestry be affixed to the same when settled and agreed to by the
Greenwich Board.
