ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
No progress has been made towards lighting this Parish
with electricity. The Bill promoted by the West London
Electric Lighting Company, which was noticed in the last
Annual Report of the Vestry, was withdrawn. Three Bills
for the Amendment of the Electric Lighting Act, 1882, were
introduced into the House of Lords and referred to a Select
Committee, but did not pass beyond that stage.
Notice was received in the month of June of the intention
of the West London Electric Lighting Company to apply for
a further Provisional Order in the ensuing session, but this
notice has not been followed up.
The Board of Trade intimated their intention, in the month
of November, to revoke the Order granted to the West
London Electric Company in 1884, in consequence of the
undertakers having failed to show to the satisfaction of the
Board of Trade, within the prescribed time, that they were in
a position fully and efficiently to carry out the obligations
imposed upon them. This Order having been accordingly
revoked, the Vestry are now free to entertain proposals for
the lighting of the Parish, or any portion thereof, bv
electricity.
