St. John's Road.—South side, in front of No. 96.—An application
having been made to the London County Council by the owner of these
premises to build a one-storey shop in the forecourt in advance of the
general line of buildings in St. John's Road, the Council consented on
condition that the ground in front was given up and added to the
public way. The ground, which contained an area of 432 feet super,
and had an average width of 16 feet, was given up and added to the
public footway. As there was an existing vault under the ground
roofed over with concrete no paving was required to be laid, but the
wrought iron initials "S.M.I." were embedded in the surface of the
concrete to indicate that the ground had been dedicated to the public.
The cost of this work was 9s. 7d.
Monnery Road.—South side, opposite Nos. 2a and 2b.—When
this road was made a crossing was formed on the south side in front of
where Nos. 2a and 2b now stand as another new road was apparently
contemplated extending southwards from Monnery Road, but as this
scheme was never carried out and houses have since been built over
the side of the proposed road there was no further use for the crossing;
it has therefore been removed and York paving laid in its place at a
cost of £19 10s. 6d.
Elthorne Road.—South-east side, in front of Nos. 192 and 194.—
An application having been made to the London County Council by
the owner of No. 192 for permission to erect a new house and shop on
the forecount of his premises in advance of the general line of buildings
between Nos. 194 and 188 the Council granted the application on condition
that the ground in front was given up and added to the public
footway. When this ground had been given up an arrangement was
made between the owner of No. 194 and the Vestry to give up a similar
strip of ground at the time partly enclosed by a fourcourt wall; this
was also added to the public footway. The two strips of ground
contained together an area of 460 super feet and had an average
width of 7 feet. A carriageway crossing was formed and paved with
granite setts the remainder of the ground being paved with new
York paving at a cost of £27 16s. 10d.
Blenheim Road.—South-east side at the flank of No. 347, Hornsey
Road.—The owner of No. 347, Hornsey Road having given up a strip
