Labour
Exchange.
An opinion from the Solicitor to the Vestry,
stating that the Labour Exchange as such is outside the
scope of the Metropolis Local Management Act, and that
any payment made on account of it might possibly be
surcharged, was received by your Committee.
In pursuance of such opinion, your Committee did not
recommended the Vestry to pass cheques for the payment
of salaries of Superintendent and Clerk for the two weeks
ending the 17th of February, amounting to £7 4s., until
further instructions had been received from the Vestry.
Your Committee recommended:—That the Vestry do
now instruct your Committee as to the payment of amounts
for the future in connection with the Labour Exchange.
On February 8th, 1893, the Vestry resolved:—That
the Finance Committee be and are hereby instructed to pay
all present and future expenses incurred in connection with
the Camberwell Labour Exchange.
London
Government.
A letter from the Chairman of a Public Meeting
held at the Lecture Hall, Wren Road, Camberwell, on
Friday the 3rd inst., referred to your Committee by the
Vestry, was considered, and it was recommended:— That
this Vestry requests Her Majesty's Government to at once
complete the endowment of London with powers of selfgovernment
necessary to secure the health, comfort, and
prosperity of its people by :—
1. Re-adjusting and concentrating the powers of the
London County Council so as to make it a strong central
municipal authority for the control of all matters which
concern the Metropolis as a whole.
