Brigade from that street, the entrance gates were not in a line with
the party wall of the house in question; suggesting that the gap
should be filled up, and enquiring whether the Board would agree
to the gates being moved and placed in a line with the party wall
of the cottage. The Board, in consideration of the object in view,
consented to the enclosure by the County Council of the small
strip of land involved in the proposal.
BURROW'S MEWS.
On the recommendation of the Paving and General Purposes
Committee, the Board, in June last, resolved to serve notice upon
the owners and occupiers of premises in Burrow's Mews,
Blackfriars Road, requiring them to contribute pro rata, according
to the extent of their several holdings, the amount, estimated
at £455 13s, 6d., of paving, with 4" x 4" granite cubes, the
roadway of the Mews, the existing pavement being in such a
state as to be dangerous to the traffic and a nuisance to the
inhabitants. Notices have accordingly been served upon the
responsible persons.
NELSON SQUARE.
In June also, the Board, on the motion of the Rev. W. Jeliie,
resolved to water the roadway of Nelson Square, Blackfriars Road,
temporarily, as a matter of emergency, the condition of the same
being considered dangerous to the public health and a nuisance;
and, on receipt of a memorial from inhabitants of the Square, it
consented to such watering being continued pending a report from
the Paving and General Purposes Committee, to whom the matter
was referred. Furthermore, Mr. W. Carter having suggested that
Nelson Square should be dealt with as regarded the paving in the
same manner as was intended in the case of Burrow's Mews, it
was resolved to refer the whole matter to that Committee with
instructions to carry out the suggestion. The Committee have
accordingly instructed the Surveyor to prepare an estimate of the
cost and plan of apportionment preparatory to the service of
notices upon the owners and occupiers.
ENCROACHMENT, EWER STREET.
The attention of the Board having been called to the erection
by Messrs. Arnold Goodwin &: Son, of a fence enclosing a small
piece of land on the west side of Ewer Street, nearly opposite the
Public Baths, the Board, believing the land to be public property,
called upon Messrs. Goodwin to remove the fence and restore the
land. They, however, declined to do so and the Board has
resolved to take the necessary legal proceedings to compel them.
The proceedings will take the form of an injunction to restrain
them from occupying the land.
