URINALS.
The four stall iron urinal on the footpath on the south-west side of
Hornsey Road (north-east of Seven Sisters' Road) having been taken
down and removed, a contract was entered into for the fixing of a
new six stall iron and slate urinal in Hornsey Road, opposite the
"Eaglet" P.H., in substitution thereof. The work was commenced in
August, 1890, but owing to the great opposition which was offered by
the occupiers of the adjacent premises the site had to be abandoned.
Arrangements have now been made for fixing the urinal referred to
in the northern portion of Kelvin Road opposite the Highbury Barn
Tavern.
The urinals in the parish are 38 in number and contain 167
compartments. The whole of these urinals have been cleaned down
repaired and repainted, the work having been carried out under a
special contract. The cost amounted to £189. 1s. 9d.
The cost of water supplied by the New River Company to the
urinals during the year amounted to £58. 16s. 0d.
FRONTAGE LINES, NEW STREETS, &c.
Copies of 30 notices and plans shewing proposed frontage lines,
new streets, or alterations of frontage in the parish, have been forwarded

might have to make thereon. The proposed works include 22 newliouses,
39 shops, 19 additions to existing houses, 7 new streets, 1 block
of baths and washliouses, 1 church addition and 1 warehouse.
