and that the Memorial be referred to a Special Committee
of 5 Members, with power to consult the
Solicitor, to consider and report to the Vestry at its
next Meeting what steps can be taken to prevent it.
Further, that the Canal Company and the County
Council be informed by the Solicitor of this Resolution
in order that they may know of the objection
of the Vestry to the erection of the said hoarding."
The Committee, consisting of Mr. Mark H.
Judge (Chairman), Col. H. F. Blair, R.E., Mr. H.
Gundry, Mr. R. H. Jackson, Mr. R. F. Whur, at
once put itself into communication with the Authorities

prompt measures were taken by the Canal Company
to remove the objectionable hoarding.
