On the 16th April, 1891, Mr. John Scott was re-elected a
Representative Governor of the above for the customary period of
3 years.
GREEN STREET IMPROVEMENT.
During the year the freeholder's interest in No. 9 has been
acquired for £3,290, and the leaseholder's for £262. The freeholder's
interest in the vacant sites of Nos. 4, 5, and 6, has also
been acquired for the sum of £5,600.
In reply to an enquiry by the Vestry, the London County Council
on the 23rd November, 1891, stated it was not their intention to
include the completion of the improvement in any bill of the session
of 1892.
On the 28th January, 1892, a letter was considered from a Mr.
John Stent of St. Swithin's Lane, stating that he was willing to
accept the Vestry's offer to exchange the triangular piece of land
on the site of 9, Green Street for a similar plot at 9, Charing Cross
Road, and he would give up so much of Nos. 7 and 8, Green Street,
as will be required for the widening in exchange for the surplus
land on the s'tes of Nos. 4, 5 and 6, on the understanding that the
widening of the street will be effected with as little delay as
possible, thereupon the Vestry communicated with the Council, who
in reply stated that they consented to the proposed arrangement,
and as their Valuer placed the value of the surplus land at 7 and
8, Green Street, at £1,600, their contribution would not exceed
£1,200. On the 24th March, 1892, Mr. Stent was informed that
the Vestry were prepared to consider any delinite proposal he
might desire to make.
WHITCOMB STREET IMPROVEMENT.
The London County Council having declined to set back Nos. 35
and 37, Whitcomb Street, and 12, James Street, (in process of rebuilding)
the Vestry on the 16th April, 1891, determined to proceed
no further with the widening of Whitcomb Street.
