forth a number of street improvements which the Vestry thought desirable that the
Hoard should carry out. With reference thereto, I am directed to state that
the Hoard has resolved to apply to Parliament in the next session for power to
widen parts of Hermondsey Street Tooley Street Dockhead, Jamaica Road, and
L'nion Road; to form a new thoroughfare from St. George's Church in the Horouph
to Southwark Hridge Road, and to improve the approaches to Deptford Creek
Hridge. As regards the other improvements suggested in the Memorial. 1 am
directed to state that the Hoard is not prepared to undertake them.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
