COLLEGE PARK ESTATE DRAINAGE.
After negotiations with the Metropolitan Board of Works
upon this matter and upon the representation of this Board, the
Metropolitan Board undertook to continue their main sewer
from Wood Lane across the Scrubbs to a point just beyond the
Railway Bridge on the north side, this Board constructing a
sewer thence to a point near the Northern boundary of the
parish.
WATER SUPPLY.
The question of the water supply to the metropolis has
engaged considerable attention, the Board besides sending
delegates to the conference of members of the various Vestries
and District Boards presented a memorial to the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, praying that in any scheme for
the creation of trustees or Board of Control under any act
for dealing with the water supply, that Vestries and District
Boards should be entitled to direct representation.
AMBULANCES.
Through the kindness of the Board of Guardians of the
Fulham Union, the Board has hitherto used the ambulances
belonging to the Union, but to meet the rapidly growing requirements
of the district and in order that all cases of infectious
disease may be removed and isolated with the least possible
delay, the Board has found it expedient to provide two new
ambulances fitted with the necessary appliances for the removal
of small pox or fever patients.
BROADWAY HOUSE.
The alterations at Broadway House and the building of the
new Board room and offices were completed, and the Board
held its first meeting in the new room on the 24th September
last. Arrangements have been made for the meetings of the
Hammersmith Select Vestry to be held here, the Vestry paying
a small amount for the accommodation.
PARLIAMENTRY PLANS.
In accordance with the standing orders of Parliament, plans,
sections books of reference, and copy of gazette notice were
deposited at the office of the Board, as follows:—
1.—Midland Railway additional powers. This Bill not proposing
to interfere with any public roads or places, no action
was taken by the Board.
