on the 18th June, 1890:—
(1.) That notice be given for the removal of all overhanging
projections, &c., which are at an elevation of less
than 8 feet from the pavement.
(2.) That notice be given to remove 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 may obstruct
the circulation of light and air, or are inconvenient or incommodious
to passengers along the carriage or footways of
any street.
(3.) That it be referred to your Committee to carry
out the order of the Vestry against all persons so offending,
to serve all notices, and take all necessary proceedings
arising therefrom.
