For the Parliamentary Session of 1890, four companies applied
for orders, viz., (1) The London Electric Supply Corporation
Limited, for a part of the Parish to the south of the area comprised
in their 1889 order; (2) The Metropolitan Electric Supply
Company Limited, for the whole Parish; (3) The House to
House Kleclric Light Supply Company, for the whole Parish;
and (4) The Electric Construction and Maintenance Company
Limited, for a very small part of the southern end of the Parish.
The applications of the first two companies were not supported
by the Vestry, as to the first, because the company declined
to give any further compulsory area, and as to the second, because
the company refused to give any satisfactory compulsory area;
but the applications 3 and 4 were supported by the Vestry, both
offering a satisfactory compulsory area, the area of supply for
No. 3 being confined to the portion of the Parish not covered by
the London Companies' 1889 order, and not comprised in the
area of supply to be comprised in the Application No. 4.
