Lighting Order, 1890, have satisfied the Hoard that they
are in a position fully and efficiently to discharge the
duties and obligations imposed upon them by the Order
throughout the area of supply, and later, the Board sent a
description of the system by means of which Electrical
Energy is to be supplied, viz., by a high pressure continuous
current Transformer System at constant pressure—and
asking the Vestry whether they desired to offer any
observation upon the System in the form which the
Board proposed to approve.
Your Surveyor reported upon the proposed regulations,
and with special regard to the aerial conductors along the
public streets which might endanger the public, and he was
of opinion that all the necessary precautions had been
taken, but the Vestry was recommended to ask the Board
to prevent the placing of overhead wires as far as possible.
The Board having had this request made to them, in reply,
wrote to the Vestry drawing their attention to Section 15
of the Order, which specially provides that the undertakers
shall not place any electric line above ground, along, over,
or across any street or public place without the express
consent of the County Council, and the Local Authority.
Notice has been received from the Electric Installation
and Maintenance Company, Limited, of their intention to
commence works on Sydenham Hill, in connection with the
Crystal Palace and District Electric Lighting, but no
portion now proposed to be put in hand has reference to
roadways within this parish.
