That your Committee having considered the reference of
your Board with regard to the borrowing the money (£1,500)
for the purposes of the Sidney Street sewer were of opinion
that the consent of the London County Council, to borrow
such amount should be asked.
That your Committee also considered that it would be
well at the same time to ask the consent of the London
County Council, to borrow the £2,500 temporarily or otherwise
to meet the cost of the works in the Commercial Road.
Your Committee therefore beg to recommend—That the
Vestry apply to the London County Council for their sanction
for the Vestry, to borrow £4,000 or such less sum as the
Council may deem expedient to meet the cost of the
work in the Commercial Road and the Sidney Street sewer,
such application to be made at the same time as that for the
£4,000 deficiency on the Harford Street Improvement.
(5) That your Clerk having reported that the contract with
Mr. E. S. Wheatley for Printing had expired, and your Committee
having regard to the satisfactory manner in which
Mr. Wheatley had carried out such contract, and the cost of
advertising for fresh tenders resolved to recommend—That
the contract for Printing with Mr. E. S. Wheatley be continued
upon the same terms for a further period of 12 months
from the 25th March, 1891.
