EMMEN'S BUILDINGS, CHAPEL STREET.
Plans were prepared showing a suggested improvement
of this Court by throwing part of the forecourts
into the public way in a line with James's Gardens.
Owing to various difficulties that arose in the negotiations
the improvement was not carried out.
URINALS.
The improvements carried out by the London Street
Tramway Co. at the corner of King's Cross Road and
Calthorpe Street necessitated the removal of this
urinal, which has since been re-erected on the south
side of Calthorpe Street, opposite the Prison wall.
Upon the application of the Deacons and Seatholders
of the Wesleyan Chapel in St. John's Square,
the urinal opposite the chapel was removed and
re-erected in the Square near to Jerusalem Court.
A new two-stall iron urinal was erected in Union
Place, Chapel Street.
The whole of the public urinals in the Parish were
cleansed three times daily and sprinkled with carbolic
acid.
JAMES'S GARDENS, CHAPEL STREET.
This Court is flushed once a fortnight, except in
very wet or frosty weather, by order of the Vestry.
