ENCLOSURE OF A PORTION OF PAINTER S RENTS,
RATCLIFF.
In April Messrs. Batger 8c Co., of Broad Street, Ratclitf,
wrote to the Hoard stating that for some time past they had
suffered from robberies and attempts to break into their premises
from Painter's Rents, and that damage was caused by the
throwing of stones and other missiles; and asking; with a view
to the prevention thereof that the Hoard would allow a wall to
be built to part off a portion of the north end of l iintir's Rents
as shewn upon the plan accompanying the letter. Messrs.
Batger also stated that in the event of the Hoard acceding to
the application they would be willing to erect at their own
expense a brick dustbin in lieu of the existing one in Painter's
Rents if required by the Hoard.
The Hoard granted the permission asked upon the following
conditions, viz.: That possession of the land enclosed should be
given up to the Hoard at any time when required upon one
month's notice in writing being given to Messrs. Hatter to that
effect, in which case the said wall should be removed by Mcsms.
Batger, in default thereof the Board being authorised to remove
the same at Messrs. Batgcr's expense, and to appropriate the
materials as the Board might think fit; and that a rent of 5s.
per annum in advance be paid by Messrs. Batger.
Application was subsequently made by Messrs. Batger for
permission to construct a fire-proof bridge across the North end
