Uncertified Deaths.
The attention of the Board having been drawn to the number
of burials that take place in the Metropolis without a proper
certificate of the cause of death having been given, a letter was
addressed to the Home Secretary, and a copy forwarded to the
Borough and County Members, calling attention to the matter.
Convent Lane Widening.
Negotiations are in progress for widening this lane from Rowan
Road to Elm Grove. The Board hope that it will soon be in a
position to report that arrangements have been made for carrying
out this much needed improvement.
Lighting Willesden Road.
Part of this road being in Acton Parish, the Board has made
arrangements with the local authorities for lighting the portion
of road in this district.
London and Suburban Market Company.
A Bill having been deposited proposing to create a market
on some land just outside the boundary of the district, on the
North side of Goldhawk road, near Young's Corner, the Board
petitioned against the measure, and the Bill was ultimately thrown
out, the promoters not having fully complied with standing
orders.
