Grove Vale Estate. Electric Lighting.
On October 17th, 1928, the Council granted permission for
tenants on the Grove Vale Estate to have electric lighting installed
on the premises occupied by them, provided that no charge should
fall upon the Council, that the form of agreement between the
tenant and the Electric Lighting Company should be first approved
by the Council, and that the work should be carried out to the
satisfaction of the Borough Engineer and Surveyor.
Recently an application was made by a tenant on the Grove
Vale Estate to have electric lighting installed, and an agreement
had accordingly been prepared and submitted to the Company
in the same terms as that approved by the Council in respect of the
Sunray Estate. This agreement was between the Council and the
company, and embodied the form of agreement to be signed by
the tenant.
The Council, at their meeting in March, 1931, passed a resolution
directing the Seal of the Council to be affixed to the beforementioned
agreement between the Council and the County of
London Electric Supply Company, Ltd.
