wark Street between numbers 120 and 140, that delays and
mistakes had occurred in the delivery of letters and goods
owing to the irregularity of the numbering of the premises the
Council wrote making inquiry as to the views of the Board on
the subject, and the latter being of opinion that revision was
desirable, the Council made an order for so doing. Such order
was given effect to by notice served by the Board in December
last, the new numbers ranging from 122 to 144, both inclusive.
ARTISANS' DWELLINGS.
The City of London Electric Lighting Company, Limited,
having made default in carrying out their agreement for the
erection of dwelling houses for the working class in lieu of those
pulled down by them in Pitt's Place and Martagon Place, Bankside,
in the year 1894, for the purposes of their factory, the
Board appointed a deputation, consisting of the Chairman,
W. E. Hill, Esq., J.P., and Messrs. Henry J. Fry, J. W.
Weston, and G. J. Newton, to wait upon the Directors of the
Company in order to impress upon them the necessity of erecting
the reqired buildings in fulfilment of their agreement. The
deputation was received on the 7th December and was assured
by the Directors that the Company would within six or eight
weeks communicate to the Board what they intended doing in
the matter. Letters subsequently received from the Company
being deemed unsatisfactory, the Board, on the 30th March last,
gave the Company notice that unless within one month from
that date they commenced the erection of the required dwellings,
legal proceedings would be taken to compel them to do so.
Shortly afterwards, however, they submitted plans of buildings
proposed to be erected by them at the entrance of Love Lane
in Sumner Street, to the County Council and to the Board.
These buildings, which provide for about one half of the number
of persons displaced, will be accepted as a first instalment;
they have been approved by both the authorities named, and
it is hoped that the Company will now proceed with the erection
of the buildings and that it will not be necessary to resort
to legal proceedings.
