wholesome food to the metropolis and surrounding neighbourhood,
at a much cheaper rate than is possible with the present
utterly inadequate market accommodation.
A copy of the above resolution was communicated to the
Metropolitan Board of Works, the Borough and County Members,
and the Vestries and District Boards in the metropolis.
The whole question of the fish supply to the metropolis, was
considered by the Metropolitan Board of Works, and a recommendation
was brought up, recommending the Board to apply for
Parliamentary power for the purchase of a site for a new market,
but the Metropolitan Board by a majority of one rejected the
report, and no further action has been taken by that Board in
the matter. However, an independent scheme has been promoted
in Parliament to authorize the establishment of a market at
Shadwell, and it is hoped that the effort to provide this much
needed accommodation may be successful.
Bell's—Cellar Flaps.
It being reported that two cellar flaps had been inserted in the
path opposite the Rose and Crown, Parson's Green Lane, without
the sanction of the Board, notice was served upon the owner to
remove the same, this notice not being complied with, the Board,
under the powers conferred upon them by the 102 sec., 18 and 19
Vic., cap. 102, filled in the openings and reinstated the path, the
cost of the work being afterwards paid by the owner.
Sewer Ventilator, Bradmore Park Road.
Great complaints having been received as to the foul stench
coming up the sewer ventilator in Bradmore Park Road, the
Board, with the permission of the owner, carried a shaft from the
ventilator up the side of one of the houses, and the nuisance
complained of has been removed.
Nuisance at Hammersmith Station,—manufacture of gas.
At the end of last year the Board commenced an action in the
Chancery Division against the Metropolitan Railway Company,
with the view of putting a stop to the serious nuisance arising
from the manufacture of gas from mineral oil at the Railway
Company's Station in the Broadway.
On the 13th January in this year, an order was made by Mr.
Justice Kay restraining the Metropolitan Railway Company,
until the trial of the action, from manufacturing gas at or near
the Broadway Station in such a manner as to create a nuisance.
