TRADE REFUSE.
On the l6th May, 1889, the Solicitors were instructed to take
steps to obtain the stating of a case by the Magistrate for the
decision of a Superior Court in the action of Mr. Frederick Gordon,
of the Hotel Metropole, against the Vestry. Acting under the
advice of Counsel the Vestry determined on the 12th December,
1889, not to remove clinkers from the Hotel.
CHALET ACCOMMODATION.
On the 3rd October, 1889, plans and estimate for the construction
of an underground chalet at a cost of £2,690 were submitted,
and on the 17th October it was determined to construct the same at
the refuge in St. Martin's Place south of the Provident Bank.
The site not affording adequate accommodation, this resolution was
subsequently varied, and it was resolved to construct the refuge
south-west of the statue of King Charles I. in Charing Cross.
HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS, &c.
Monthly inspections of the above houses, which, in 1884
amounted to 2G3, but are now reduced to 221 in number, have
been made by the Inspector for that purpose, who has found the
regulations generally complied with. 117 notices have been served
during the year, and the works required to be effected have in all
cases been executed.
