REPORT, 1888-9.
Harrow Road and Paddington Tramways.
The Company commenced to break up the roadway
and lay their rails from the Southern end of Chippenham
Road, and in the Harrow Road at the Western
Boundary of the Parish in the early part of March,
1888, and the works were completed so far as this
Parish was concerned in June of that year. On the
2nd July, Major-General C. L. Hutchinson, R.E.,
reported to the Board of Trade that he had inspected
the line, and recommended them to certify that the
Tramways were fit for public traffic. It is needless
for me to record in this report the numerous meetings
which occupied the attention of the Vestry during
the latter end of the year 1888, with reference to
wood paving the sides of the tramway, and which
was finally decided to be carried out.
The Company have again applied to Parliament
for an extension of the Tramway from the Lock
Bridge to the junction of Edgware Road, and also
from Cambridge Road to the Eastern end of Kilburn
Park Road, thence to Cricklewood.
New Servers Works.
Three hundred and forty feet run of brick sewer,
of the capacity of 3' 9" x 2' 6", together with a side
entrance and air openings, have been constructed in
Bradiston Road, between Fernhead Road and Saltram
Crescent, by and at the cost of Mr. E. Vigors. Houses
