PAVING IN FRONT OF CHURCHES.
On the 2nd May, 1888, it was resolved to pave at the expense of
the Vestry around the churches of the Holy Cross, in Ashington, Bettridge,
and Cortayne roads.
NAME PLATES.
A number of name plates have been fixed wherever required during
the year. On the 11th July, 1888, the tender of the Sand Blast Company
was accepted at 6d. per plate for small glass name plates to fix in
the street lamps. Since that date a great number of these name plates
have been fixed.
MARGRAVINE GARDENS.
This road, which is situated partly in Fulham and partly in Hammersmith,
has been taken to and made up during the year, and the Metropolitan
Board asked to vest it in one of the Parishes. The award of the
Board was received on the 15th March, 1889, and was to the effect that
Fulham should cleanse and maintain the road, and the Hammersmith
Yestry pay an annual contribution of £80 to Fulham parish to cover
the cost.
LAMMAS RIGHTS AND TOWN MEADOWS.
A great number of meetings have been held on this subject during
the year, and generally speaking the objects the Yestry have in view
have been considerably advanced. I have also prepared a plan (now
published) to accompany the report prepared by Mr. Percival Birkett,
who has advised the Yestry in the matter.
PUBLIC FOOTPATHS.
These have continued to receive my especial attention during the
year. Whenever they have appeared to me to be encroached on, especial
care has been taken to have them defined with boundary stones.
A portion of the path 593 feet long, (area 395 square yards) running
out of the Greyhound Road, and lying between Tasso Road and Garvan
Road was stopped up in April, 1888, by the owner of the adjoining land,
the Yestry receiving for their consent and assistance £150, and 77 sq.
yards of land to widen Greyhound Road.
Also a portion of Church Path, length 165 feet (area 110 sq. yards)
leading from Mendora Road to Delaford Street was stopped in April,
1888. The Yestry in this case receiving £100 and 144 sq. yards of
land thrown into Rylston Road.
