Charity Estates.
The Charity Estates Committee on the 15th October, 1890, visited the Charity Estate at
Stratford with reference to the Notice under the Conveyancing Act, 1881, served by Order of the
Vestry on 7th November, 1889, and finding the repairs to the property were being carried out
satisfactorily, the matter was left in the hands of the Clerk to obtain from the representatives of
the Lessee the best terms he could, by way of compensation for the breaches of the Covenant to
keep the property in repair. The sum of £52 10s. Od. was eventually accepted in satisfaction of
the claim under the said notice, which sum was handed over to the Churchwardens, and paid
into the Charity Account.
The Charity Estates Committee on the 15th October, 1890, also visited the Plaistow Charity
Estate with reference to the progress made with the buildings thereon, and found Mr. Stotesbury,
the Contractor, had erected 34 of the 66 houses contracted by him to be built by the end of
January, 1890, leaving 31 houses to be built, exclusive of covering the site reserved for a publichouse
fronting the Stratford Eoad; and upon application from the Contractor for an extension of
time to complete his contract, it was agreed to extend such time for 12 months from the 21st
October, 1890, to enable him to complete the erection of the remaining houses covenanted to be
built upon this estate under his Agreement with the Trustees, dated 23rd January, 1885.
