TRAMWAYS.
The West London Tramways Company renewed their application for permission
to lay a tramway down the Hammersmith Road so far as the entrance
to Olympia, proposing to form the terminus in the approach road to Olympia.
On the 21st January, 1891, a deputation of ratepayers attended before the
Vestry, and asked the Vestry to oppose the scheme. This the Vestry almost
unanimously decided to do, and the scheme has not been proceeded with further
within the boundaries of this parish.
ELECTRIC LIGHT.
In July, 1890, notices were served on the Vestry on behalf of the London
Electrical Engineering Company, Limited, the British Electrical Engineering
Company, House to House Electric Supply Company, Limited, and the Stamford
Hill, Tottenham, and Edmonton Electric Light and Power Supply, Limited,
stating their intention to apply to the Board of Trade, in due course, for provisional
orders under the Electric Lighting Acts, 1882 to 1888, to be confirmed
in the ensuing session of Parliament, but no further action was taken by the
companies.
The Vestry received a letter from the Board of Trade forwarding an application
for a firm to purchase from the West Middlesex Electric Light Company
the undertaking authorised by the Fulham District Electric Lighting
Order, 1884, under the provisions of section 69, sub-section (c), and the Vestry
informed the Board of Trade that it strongly objected to the order being resuscitated
in any way.
ELECTRICAL TRAMWAYS.
An application made on behalf of the Chelsea Electrical Supply Cdmpany,
Limited, for permission to obtain a provisional order authorising them to run
electrical tramways through the Parish, along the Fulham Road and King's
Road, was not acceded to.
LAMMAS RIGHTS.
A great number of meetings have been held in respect of the claim of Rights
of Lammas over certain lands known as townmeads adjoining the river, and on
the 17th September, 1890, the Vestry ordered me to parade six horses over this
land.
I carried out my instructions on the 1st day of December, 1890, as set forth
in the report which was printed on the minutes, and of which the following is a
copy
1st December, 1890.
To the Chairman and Members of the Lammas Rights Committee.
