North Metropolitan Tramways (No. 2).—To construct
Tramways along St. John Street Road, St. John Street,
from the "Angel," to near the New Meat Market, and
Goswell Road (Siding). The Vestry gave assent to this
scheme upon condition that the line ceased about the end
of Aylesbury Street until the thoroughfare below should
be widened. This was agreed to by the Company, but the
bill was not proceeded with.
London Street Tramways.—To construct Tramways
along King's Cross Road and Farringdon Road, from King's
Cross to Clerkenwell Road. This scheme was again introduced,
accompanied by suggested improvements by way

Parliament, viz.: to take compulsory powers to acquire the
house No. 64 King's Cross Road at the corner of Wharton
Street, so as to improve the access to King's Cross Road
from that street, and also to take the premises Nos. 1, 3, 5,
7 and 9 King's Cross Road, with the view of improving the
road at that point; and, further to improve the levels of
King's Cross Road in front of the sunken houses by
slightly raising the road on the west side, and at the south

The Vestry gave its assent to the Scheme, and it received
the Royal assent on the 22nd July.

Subway from the "Angel" to Moorgate Street, along City

withdrawn on the 10th of the same month.
