A further letter was also received from the Secretary to the London Master Carmen
and Cartage Contractors' Association upon the subject, urging the Vestry not to listen to
the arguments set forth by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association.
The correspondence referred to above was considered by the General Purposes and
Works Committee, who reported on 24th September, 1895, that they were of opinion that
water troughs might be a source of infection-of glanders or farcy but inasmuch
Vestry had no power of expenditure for the purpose of substituting standposts for the
existing water troughs,
Recommended—That the London Master Carmen's Association be so informed.
This was approved by the Vestry.
