at the same time forwarding copy of the application ; and
3. That as soon as the line is settled, plans and sections of the
laying-out, &c,, of the meadow will be prepared and forwarded to
them; and on the same being reported to the Vestry at their
meeting on the 11th of May, 1887, the action of the Committee
was approved. At the meeting of the Works Committee on the
18th May, 1887, a further letter was read from the solicitors to the

before it was forwarded to the Thames Conservators for approval,

to stand adjourned to the next meeting, and at their next meeting
on the 8th June, 1887, a letter was read from the Thames Conservators
adhering to the line of frontage already proposed by
them, and the Clerk was directed to send a copy of the letter, and
plan referred to, to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
