URINALS.
A six person urinal has been erected on the south-east side of
Holland Road, near Hornsey Road, at a cost of £189 2s. 8d.
There are now 39 public urinals in the Parish containing 173
compartments.
The cost of water supplied by the New River Company for
flushing the urinals during the year amounted to £156 7s. Od.
UNDERGROUND CONVENIENCES.
As was intimated in last year's report the Vestry has found it
owing to prejudice impracticable to provide Street Cloak Room accommodation
for women and children. It has, however, during the present
year resolved upon providing two underground conveniences; one in
front of the Grand Theatre, High Street, and the other in the Holloway
Road, corner of Parkhurst Road. The cost of the former is estimated
at £1,350, and of the latter, which includes accommodation for women,
at £2,400.
FRONTAGE LINES, NEW STREETS, &c.
Copies of 27 notices and plans shewing proposed frontage lines, or
alterations of frontage in the Parish, as under, have been forwarded by
the London County Council for any suggestion the Vestry might have
to make thereon.
