and the Vestry will only have to pay for the removal of
so much as the Company are unable to dispose of.
It is estimated that the annual cost of removal of
slop, undor those terms, will be between £150 and
£200.
The Vestry are sorry to have to report that the
precepts of tho Metropolitan Board of Works, and the
School Board for London, aro vory considerably in
excess of the amounts of those of last year, and may
probably cause an increase in the rates, but tho Vestry
hope tho Ratepayers will bear this in mind, and not
attribute tho extra demands to any augmented expenditure
of tho Vestry itself.
Tho Ratepayers aro aware that tho boundary of this
Hamlet, next to Limehouse, runs in a diagonal lino
across tho Commercial Road, which was a source of
considerable inconvonience in caso of any works being
required to bo done to tho road.
To remedy this tho Metropolitan Board have, undor
tho powers vested in them, made an order, placing part
of tho road in tho Limehouse District under the control
of this Vostry, and part of the road in this Hamlet
under tho control of the Limehouse Board, so that as
tar as regards tho control of tho road, each parish has
tho same power, as if tho division between tho two
parishes runs at right angles across the road.
Applications have boon made to tho Metropolitan
Board of Works for orders for re-numbering and renaming
several streets and roads in tho Hamlet, but at
present tho only orders made are those for re-numbering
and abolishing the subsidiary names in
White Horse Lane and Rhodeswell Road.
