by Mr. Robt. Vigers, on behalf of the Railway Company,
for an improvement at Catford Bridge, and the Board informed
him that they viewed favourably the principle he
suggested for effecting an improvement in the Bridge, and
requested further information as to the proposed arrangements
for carrying out the improvement, the cost of the same,
and the division of that cost between the Railway Company,
the land owners, and the authorities interested.
The matter thus remained at the end of the Board's
financial year.
MAIN ROADS.
The Board stated in their last Report, p. 23, that this
subject had received their consideration, and that they had
forwarded to the London County Council a list of Roads in
this district which might be deemed to be Main Roads, and
at the date of publication of the Report the matter was before
the Council. It has only recently been disposed of, the
Council deciding that they could not accede to this Board's
application.
A similar communication has been addressed to the
other Vestries and District Boards in the Metropolis who
made application to the Council on this subject. The matter
rests thus at present, but in all probability it will be revived
with a view to some further application to the Council.

following Companies of their intention to make applications
for Provisional Orders for power to supply Electricity for
lighting and other purposes in parts of this District:—
The Metropolitan Electric Supply Company, Limited.

Limited; and
