Re-naming
and
re-numbering
of
streets.
One of the many duties cast upon the Vestry is that of carrying
out the orders of the Metropolitan Board of Works for the
re-naming and re-numbering of streets.
In the Metropolitan Board of Works alone is vested the
power of making the orders, but all the work attached in consequence
of the order is thrown on the Vestry. The Vestry has to
obtain the names of all the occupiers, &c., in every street to which
an order applies, and to serve a separate notice upon each, and it
will be apparent from a perusal of the following list of streets, in
respect of which orders have been made, that a great deal of work
has had to be done.
As, however, the Metropolitan Board of Works must, before
proceeding, receive information of streets in respecft of which it
would be advisable for orders to be made, the Vestry has from time
to time considered the subject and has sent up to the Board lists
of such streets and suggested the alterations required, and in nearly
every instance the Vestry's views have been adopted.
The following is a list of the streets which have dealt with as
before mentioned.
