BOROUGH OF PADDINGTON.
XXXI. Street Nomenclature.
Harrow Road, one of the longest thoroughfares
in the Metropolis, was re-numbered throughout in
May, 1887, and the subsidiary names abolished.
Sutherland Gardens and Sutherland Avenue have
been incorporated and renumbered as one thoroughfare
under the name of Sutherland Avenue.
XXXII. Street Improvements.
Efforts were made during the year to widen
Ossington Street, and Moscow Road, but owing to
the large amounts asked by the owners of the land
required to effect such widening, the desired improvement
had to be abandoned.
XXXIII. Tramways.
The Harrow Road and Paddington Tramways
Company have succeeded in obtaining an Act of
Parliament authorising them to lay down Tramways
from the Lock Bridge to Harlesden Green and
Cricklewood, and the works in connection therewith
are in progress.
XXXIV. Electric Lighting.
The question of providing Electric Lighting for
the Parish was referred to the Legal Committee, and
this Committee prepared a digest of the law relating
thereto. It also reported on the cost of producing,
storing, and supplying electricity for lighting purposes
throughout the Borough. The question is
still under consideration.
