To James J. Sotkes, Esq.,
Clerk to the Vestry of Rotherhithe
Dear Sir,
In accordance with the instructions of the Vestry of Rotherhithe as
contained in your letter to me of 21st February last, I have surveyed the several
houses and premises situate between Rotherhithe Street and Paradise Street, and
known as the "Fulford Street and Braddon Street Insanitary Area," as comprised in
the Plan and Schedule hereto annexed, and I have made a valuation of the several
interests in connection therewith. with a view of reporting to the Vestry the estimated
coal of acquiring the site of the property, in furtherance of a scheme to be promoted
for dealing therewith under Part 2 of the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1899.
I have made my valuation in accordance with the instructions as to so doing
contained in section 41 of the Art referred to.
As the Vestry are aware, new dwelling houses are being erected on the sites of
Nos. 34 to 32. Braddon Street, which, as they will in all probability be finished and
occupied before the present scheme comes into operation, I have valued as if now
complete-.
I estimate that the east of acquiring the whole of the property comprised in the
Schedule, inclusive of all cost and charges is connection therewith, will amount to
the sum of Twenty seven Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty Pounds (£27,350),
To this mart be added the animated cost of making up the mads required for the
new Building Scheme of constricting the requisite sewers there is and is of enclosing the
site with a proper hoarding.
I estimate the amount of Re???" whcih may be anticipated from the
subsequent ask of the Freehold by the Vestry, at the sum of Two Thousand Eight
Hundred possible (£2,8000)
