with regard there to, together with a similar Committee of the
Mile end Vestry the joint Committees held Meeting the

NEW THOROUGHFARE from broad strut to
CRANFORD STREET,
The question of the suggested formation of a new thoroughfare
from Broad Street to Cranfond street. rateliff, has again
engaged the attention of the Works Committee, and the further
consideration thereof has been deferred.
NARROW STREET
The purchase of parts No. 13. 15 and 17, narrow street,
Rateliff, having been completed, tenders were obtained for
pulling down the premises which were subsequently demolished.
The frontages were then set back, and the land thrown into the
public way was paved; the vacant land was enclosed by a fence,
and as arranged will be returned to the city corporation.
I wrote to the Engineer of the London County Council
asking that the Council would carry out the alteration rendered
necessary to the two side entrances to the Rateliff Cross Sewer
by the widening of the thoroughfare, and he replied that the
Council was not prepared to effect the alteration unless the
Board undertook to defray the cost thereof, which he estimated
at £100. the Board requested me to see the engineer upon
the subject, and I did so, and the matter was also brought under
the notice of Messrs. pearce and Leon, Members of the Council
for the Limehouse Division, who made certain representations
to him. Eventually the Council decided to carry out the work
at its own cost, and the Board passed a vote of thanks to Messrs.
Pearce and Leon in recognition of their services in the matter.
