Writ of Mandamus to issue, and this Board decided not to continue
the litigation but to execute the required works,
PRECEPT ACCOUNTS.
In order to facilitate the making and collecting of the local
management rates the Board, after correspondence with the
Parish Officers of Fulham and Hammersmith, has arranged that
in future the Parish Officers will close the Rates for the year,
and render an account of the same at or about the 25th of
March in each year, so as to enable the Board to issue precepts
for the various sums required for the ensuing twelve months as
soon after that date as possible.
CONSTRUCTION OF REFUGES.
Since the completion of the railway works the whole of the
surface of the Broadway has been regulated and reformed to the
altered levels, and additional refuge for pedestrians has been
constructed at the entrance to the Station Road. The other refuges
in the Broadway have been reconstructed and ornamental
gas pillars erected at each of the three refuges, the Board has
also constructed a refuse of like character next to the “Thatched
House" in the Dalling Road.
STOPPING UP HIGHWAYS.
During the year the Board received notice from the Gas
Light and Coke Company, that they were desirous of stopping
up a certain portion of Sands End Lane in the Parish of Fulham
and that they were willing to construct and dedicate to
the use of the public a new highway to be lormed on land belonging
to the Company between Sands End Lane and Bagleys
Lane and running from the Kings Road in a straight line to
the river Thames.
Notice was also received from Messrs. Gibbs and Flew of
their desire to stop up a certain portion of Goaters Alley in the
same parish and to construct and dedicate to the public a certain
new highway to be called Sherbroke Road and leading
from Rylston Road to Dawes Lane.
These applications in due course went before the Fulham
Vestry and subsequently were submitted to thejustices and the
necessary orders were obtained.
Goaters Alley has been stopped as applied for and the new
road is open but in the case of the Gas Company the new high
way is not yet completed, and Sands End Lane remains open.
