By the Act the Vestry elect one representative to the Metropolitan
Board of Works, and the exercising of this power was the
first duty cast on the Vestry.
Representatives
at
the Metropolitan
Board of
Works.
The following have been the Vestry's representatives
William Ephraim Snow, Esq., from 1855 to 1862.
William Newton, Esq. ,, 1862 to 1876.
Robert Jones, Esq. ,, 1876, to Oct., 1879,
and from June, 1880, to present time.
Theodore Moore, Esq., from Oct., 1879, to June, 1880.
The first named gentleman served the Vestry most efficiently
until ill-health compelled him to resign, when Mr. William Newton
was elected in his stead. The Vestry feel justifiable pride in their
election of Mr. Newton, for during the time that he held his
position at the Metropolitan Board he was one of the foremost
supporters of the great improvements which have been effected in
the Metropolis of late years and many of them even owe their
adoption to his energy and ability.
Mr. Jones was elected on the death of Mr. Newton, but finding
that his private engagements prevented him from properly attending
to the duties he resigned, and Mr. Moore was elected in his
place.
