granted in any particular case, as circumstances might arise
at a future time rendering such permission necessary to be
revoked.
I, therefore, suggest that general intructions be issued
to the District Superintendents and Street Keeper as
follows, viz.:—
1st. Give notice for the removal of all overhanging
projections, &c., which are at an elevation of less than 8 feet
from the pavement.
2nd. That all projections, whether of the height
above-named or not, which may be insecurely fixed,
"thereby endangering the public safety," or which may be
of such a size and character, as, using the words of the Act
regulating such erections, "may obstruct the circulation of
light and air, or are inconvenient or incommodious to
passengers along the carriage or footways of the said
streets be at once removed by notice.
Such Regulations as the foregoing, would, I think,
effect the object in view, without the Vestry issuing an
edict for the entire removal, and, further, would evince to
the Ratepayers that the Vestry, in adopting these arrangements,
are only desirous of protecting the public without
persecuting or hindering the Ratepayers.

Surveyor of Vestry.
