Vestry would pave same and maintain it as an open
space. The Committee endeavor to get a fountain
placed in the centre of the ground, by the
Metropolitan Drinking fountain and Cattle Trough
Association, but the Association stated that they
had no available funds.
Application was made by the Pinto Automatic
Lamp Syndicate, for permission to fix one of their
automatic tea, coffee, (fee., lamps, and undertaking
to have a free tap for cold water—and the Vestry
granted such permission.
CLEEKENWELL GREEN 1MPEOVEMENT.
The carriageway paving of Clerkenwell Green
being in a defective condition, the Works Committee
were of opinion that considerable improvement in
the appearance of same would be affected, and the
cost of repairs lessened, if two portions in the centre
were formed with 2 large refuges, East and West of
Clerkenwell Close. Plans were prepared, and the
Vestry decided upon the recommendation of the
Committee to plant the Eastern refuge with trees,
and that the drinking fountain be fixed one end and
the cattle trough the other. On the Western refuge
the underground convenience previously mentioned
is in course of construction.
