Having had the advantage of visiting these, which with Dewsbury are practically
the first of the, other than the experimental ones inspected st Warrington, although the
??? system has since been adopted in towns and the buildings are now in course of
crection, the Committee were enabled to obtain further information of an indepent nature:
and theb information they received at Leyton q uite confirmed what were told by Mr. ???
the Patentec, at Warrington, and they are now of opinion that system is the most suitable
for the Parish. They then therfore recommend instead of Plan B, that A is the better, and they
??? it for your approval.
They also recommend that no further time should be lost, and ask the Vestry will
appoint an early day for the considertion of this Report and their Report dated the 3rd July,
1896, so that be made as soon as possible.
