STREETS NOT TAKEN TO.
There are 100 streets not yet taken to in the Fulham District,
and the enormous quantity of vacant land in the Parish suitable
for building on, is rapidly being filled up with streets. The present
state of these streets is exceedingly discreditable and dangerous to
the health of the inhabitants.
This evil can only be prevented by Parliament enacting that
houses shall not be built in a street until it is completed to the
satisfaction of and taken over by the local authorities.
The Vestrv have, however, to deal with what exists, and in
face of the great pressure of other work in the department, and the
large quantity of undeveloped land in the district, the only
practical way of dealing with these streets is to appoint at least
two draughtsmen, who shall do nothing but new streets work,
until the enormous number of incomplete and insanitary streets is
reduced.
In making this suggestion, the Vestry must remember that
it need not cost anything to the ratepayers, as the Yestry recover
the expenses of making plans, &c., of new streets as a part of the
cost of making up the streets.
