AUDIENCES OF THE BOARD.
The following amended Bye laws were made and confirmed
by the Board on the 13th February, 1884:—
" Interviews.
"I. A personal interview shall not be granted by the Board
to any person or number of persons at any Meeting of the Board
unless a written application be made at least 48 hours before the
time of Meeting, stating the object of the interview; and the
same, if granted, shall take place at a quarter after Five o'clock
in the afternoon, or at such other time as the Board may from
time to time appoint.
"II. That upon any such interview being so granted to any
person or number of persons, or to a deputation, such person or
persons, or deputation, shall be required to be introduced by a
Member of the Board, and one person only of any such number
of persons or deputation attending shall be allowed to address
the Board upon the subject of the interview, and thereupon the
same shall be referred to a Committee, or be otherwise dealt with
as may be deemed expedient."
THE ANNUAL INSPECTION.
It has been the custom of the Board for many years to
make an Annual Inspection of the District. As will be
remembered the District consists of the Parish of Lewisham,
divided into three Wards, returning in all 21 Members, and
of the Hamlet of Penge returning 6 Members; and it may
be imagined that the Members thus returned in many
instances are not well acquainted with the other parts of
the District, therefore it has been found of the utmost use
that each Member should, at least once a year, visit the
different parts of this widely-extended District, and be able
to inspect the various works in progress or in contemplation;
they are then in a position to bring personal knowledge
to aid them in the discussion of the necessity or otherwise of
the proposed Works.
By Order,
H. S. WINNETT,
Clerk to the Board.
