inches, and the kerb of the pavement at the expense of the
Vestry, or if the Vestry desired that the Company should

leaving the remainder to be dealt with by the Vestry.
Also that arrangements might be made for the removal of
the Pillar Letter Box and lamp post at the corner of
Choumert Road and Rye Lane at the earliest convenience,
and the Company withdrew an application for a second
entrance to the depot in the Attwell Road, as they hoped to
dispense with that entrance by altering the front way of
the yard.
Your Committee instructed the Surveyor to take the
necessary steps for the removal of the Pillar Letter Box
and Lamp Column, and reported the same to the Vestry on
the 14th January, 1891, and on the same date your
Committee recommended the following resolutions to the
Vestry:—
''(i.) That an application be made to the London
County Council for a loan of £3,000, the repayment of
which with interest at the rate of three and a half per
centum per annum being spread over a period not exceeding
twenty years; this being the estimated cost of paving
Rye Lane with granite setts, in accordance with the resolution
of the Vestry of the 17th December, 1890.
"(ii.) That the consent of the Vestry be given to the
construction of a passing place for the tramways in Rye
Lane, opposite the Railway Station, in accordance with the
plan as amended by the Surveyor."
