A corresponding reduction in the amount of the outstanding
precepts in the parish of Fulham, has also to be made. By means of
such Act they are now also enabled to deal with cases like that of the
Latymer Road and Masboro' Road North, in respect of which they have
already taken action, and hope to have such places in a state of
repair satisfactory to the owners and the public.
At an early period of the present Session of Parliament, the
Metropolis Trust Commissioners having introduced a Bill providing
for the removal of Tollgates and Bars in the Metropolis, and

the parishes through which they pass, the Board have earnestly
striven to obtain a more equitable settlement in that matter.
During the past year they have had to regret the death of their late
colleague, V. Stevens, Esq., who represented the District at the
Metropolitan Board from the commencement of the Act, but are
happy to report that they have found an efficient substitute, having
elected W. H. Lammin, Esq., of "The Shorrolds," Fuiham, to supply
the vacant place.
