PRIVATE LAMPS.
The Vestry some years since decided not to permit the
erection of Private Lamps except upon the following
conditions:—
1. That no part of such Lamps shall be less than 10 feet in

2. That no such Lamps shall in any case project further than
the inside of the kerb bounding the footway.
3. That all such Lamps shall be entirely free from writing or

Post Offices, Sweeps, Fire Engines, or other positions where
they would be a public guide in cases of emergency.

lighted the whole night.
6. That a sketch of the proposed Lamps with their dimensions
and of any intended inscription thereon, be submitted with
the application to the Vestry for approval.
