STEAMBOAT SERVICE.
A circular-letter was received from the Vestry of Greenwich,
calling attention to the alleged inadequacy of the steamboat
service on the River Thames, and forwarding copy of a resolution
expressing an opinion that it was desirable in the interests of
better communication that steps should be taken to secure
an adequate and convenient service, and suggesting that the
London County Council should take the matter in hand.
The Board concurred as to the desirability of a better
service, but did not adopt the last part of the resolution.
SOUTHWARK BRIDGE ROAD.
In accordance with an application made by Mr. Henry
Langston on behalf of the Churchwardens and Overseers of St.
Saviour's, the Board caused a letter to be written to the London
County Council asking it to make an order for the re-numbering
of the houses, etc., in Southwark Bridge Road, much difficulty
being experienced by the Churchwardens and Overseers in connection
with their registration work in consequence of the
irregularities incidental to the numbering and to the fact that
some of the houses have no number whatever. The premises
in Southwark Bridge Road were last re-numbered in the year
1869, when Bridge Street, the portion next Southwark Bridge,
was incorporated with the Bridge Road, since which time many
alterations have taken place.
LOAN.
In order to provide for the expenditure to be incurred for
paving works in Southwark Bridge Road, Gravel Lane, and
Newcomen Street, the Board has borrowed of the London
County Council the sum of £5000 at 3½ per cent. interest, for
five years, repayable by ten equal half yearly instalments of
£549 12s. for combined principal and interest. The loan was
completed on the 15th June last.
MARGARINE AND MARGARINE CHEESE.
Under and by virtue of Section 7 of the Sale of Food and
Drugs Act, 1899, the provisions of Section 9 of the Margarine
Act, 1887, relating to the registration of manufactories of
margarine, are extended so as to apply to any premises whereon
the business of a wholesale dealer in margarine or margarine
