Chalets.
An application having been made by the Chalet Company
for permission to erect Chalets de Toilette under certain rules
and conditions in parts of the District, application was made to
the Metropolitan Board of Works for sanction to have one
erected on Shepherd's Bush Common ; this was however refused,
and this Board has granted permission for one to be erected at
the bifurcation of the road, at the Eastern end of the Common,
an agreement has been entered into with the company,
and the chalet will shortly be erected. It is hoped that it will
prove a boon to the public in general.
The structure will be of iron, wood and brick, the dimensions
being, length 20 feet, breadth 12 feet, and elevation 10 feet; but
these are subject to modification. The lower portion is a frame-
work of wood, panelled to an elevation of 6 feet, above which,
encircling the entire structure, are arranged glass panels of varied
colours, which, utilised for carefully selected advertisements, are
lighted up at night by gas. The interior will be divided into
two distinct compartments, one for ladies and theother for gentlemen,
the entrance being at either end of the chalet; that to the
ladies' compartment being entered through a vestibule, fitted up
as a cloak room, where parcels may be left at a small charge.
