settled by the Jury. Tenders have been received for pulling down

Widening Wapping Wall.—Having been informed by
Messrs. Anderson & Ludlam, of the Metropolitan Wharf, that they
were about to pull down Nos. 12 to 23, Wapping Wall, and an
opportunity being thus offered of widening the thoroughfare at that
point, I prepared a plan shewing the proposed widening, and laid
the same before the Board. The Board determined to carry out the
improvement at the estimated cost of £5,633, provided the Metropolitan
Board would contribute one half the same, and a memorial
was presented to the Metropolitan Board requesting them to sanction
the improvement, and to contribute thereto. That Board have
given their sanction, and have consented to pay one half of the cost.
Negociations are pending with the owners of the premises required
for the improvement for the purchase of their interests in the same.
Widening White Horse Street, near Dean Colet House.
—A letter having been addressed to the Board, by Messrs.
Newman & Billing, on behalf of the committee for building a new
Parsonage on the site of Dean Colet House, offering to the Board
the portion of land for widening White Horse Street, upon certain
terms, it was resolved to carry out the proposed improvement, on
condition that the Metropolitan Board would contribute one half
the cost thereof, which that Board has consented to do. I have
arranged with the owners of the premises to set back the line of
frontage as agreed and the necessary steps will be taken to have
the land conveyed to the Board.
