RAILWAY BRIDGES.
A letter was received from the London County Council
stating that it had been decided to endeavour to get clauses
inserted in all Hills promoted by Railway Companies with a
view to requiring the Companies among other matters to make
all their bridges watertight, and to make provision for deadening
as far as Possible the noise of passing trains. The Council
asked the Hoard to do all they could to second the Council's
efforts, and the Hoard replied that they would be pleased to
Co-operate for the purpose referred to.
MAPS OF THE DISTRICT
In accordance with a Resolution of the Hoard, a large map
of the District has been Prepared shewing the sewers in the
District, and the same has been mounted and placed in the
Committee Room. A scries of smaller plans has also been
completed shewing the house drainage.
A small folding map of the District has been preparer! and
copies printed for the use of the members.
ADVERTISING ON LAMP COLUMNS.
In order to enable the Hoard to form an opinion as to the
advisability of making an arrangement with Messrs. Heath, of
Biriningham, for the adoption of their system of advertising on
lamp columns, that firm fitted up a sample lamp in Commercial
Road, at the corner of White Horse Street, but the Hoard
having inspected the same decided not to entertain Messrs.
Heath's suggestion.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
CHARLES DUNCH,
Survtj'or of the Board.
