Municipal Band.—In July, 1891, the Vestry
received a letter from the Vestry of Hammersmith,
protesting against the proposal of the London
County Council to expend the sum of £3,200 from
the rates in providing a municipal band of
musicians for playing in the public parks and
recreation grounds of the metropolis, and inviting
the Vestry to take similar action. Between the
date of the resolution of the Hammersmith Vestry
and its consideration by the Vestry, the Council
decided to subsidise the bands already playing to
the extent of £1,500, and the Vestry passed a
resolution approving of such expenditure, and
thanking the Council for its action.
Hoardings.—The Vestry having found difficulty
in dealing with cases where licenses have been
taken out for hoardings on the public way, which
have been used for advertising purposes, and no
steps have been apparently taken for erecting
buildings upon the enclosed ground, they have
directed their Surveyor not to give permission to
place any hoarding on the public footway until the
plans for the proposed building have been submitted
to him, and satisfactory evidence given that the
work will be immediately commenced and proceeded
with; and that returns be made to the Vestry from
time to time by the Surveyor of any hoarding or
hoardings which have been licensed or in existence
for more than three months, with the names and
addresses of the licensees, and where the hoarding
or hoardings is or are situate, and that such returns
be made and laid before the Vestry at the next
meeting after the expiration of the three months.
Kiosk, Clerkenwell Green.—In July, 1891,
the Vestry received a communication from the
