Mr. George Ware, the last of this Board's Annuitants, died on
the 15th February last. Mr. Ware formerly filled the office of
Clerk to the Commissioners for the West Division of Borough
Pavements, one of the Trusts which became obsolete on the passing
of the Metropolis Local Management Act in the year 1855, and
was in receipt from this Board of an apportioned annuity of
£7 13s. 0d., part of a sum of £25 per annum, granted to him by
way of compensation for the loss of that office.

Metropolitan Board of Works, and the several Yestries and District
Boards of Works. The Members of the Metropolitan Board are to
be merged in the new Corporation, and every person who if London
