REPORT, 1890-91.
" Resolved—2. (a.) That as soon as the scheme
for the acquisition of the Recreation Ground is
sufficiently matured, the Special Committee be
empowered to memorialize the County Council to
extend to North-West London some of the favour
shewn towards other parts of the Metropolis in the
matter of the acquisition of open spaces, by acquiring
the adjoining thirty odd acres in Elgin Avenue as a
Park or Open Space, to be used in connection with,
and by way of addition to, the Recreation Ground;
thus giving partial effect to the scheme promoted
some years back for the acquisition of what was
then 80 acres as a Park.
" (b.) And further, that the Special Committee
be also empowered to memorialize the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners, the Trustees of the Paddington
Estate, the Charity Commissioners, and other Public
Bodies, to assist in the acquisition of the extended
area."
St. Mary's Churchyard North—Entrance from
Cuthbert Street.
In consequence of the closing of the late entrance
to the old Churchyard, from Howell Street, owing
to the land being let by the Trustees of the Hall
Park Estate for building purposes, the matter was
referred to the Legal Committee to secure, if possible,
a public way between Cuthbert Street and the
Churchyard, and the Vestry has now purchased the
Leasehold interest in No. 13, Cuthbert Street, at a
cost of £450.
