The Hoard decided in March. 1895, that a street rest and
lamp should be erected in the east India Dock Road. on the
boundary between Limehouse Mid Poplar, provided the Poplar
District Hoard would agree to contribute one half the cost of
erection, lighting, and maintenance. A communication to that
effect was addressed to the Poplar Hoard, but their reply has
not yet been received.
A letter was received from H. Herrmann, Limited, complaining
of the want of light in front of their premises, No. ll,
Dod Street, Limehouse, and suggesting that two gas brackets
should be fixed on the wall, one on each side of their entrance
gateway, and for one of which and the lighting of the same they
would be willing to pay. The Works Committee having made
an inspection of the locality the Board gave directions for two
lamps to be fixed as suggested, Messrs. Herrmann entering into
an agreement to repay to the Hoard the cost of fixing one of the
same and the repairing and lighting thereof.
