whitcomb street improvement—continued.
Vestry determined to request the sanction of the Council to a loan
in respect of the professional charges, and the payment of the
Council's promised contribution without any further delay. On the
3rd July, 1890, the seal of the Vestry was affixed to a mortgage to

GREEN STREET IMPROVEMENT.
