NEW STREET—SUN STREET TO WORSHIP STREET.
The Metropolitan Board has commenced to acquire the propertyrequired
for the formation of this street. It would be a mere conjecture
to say when it is probable that it will be completed.
FOOTWAY PAYING IN ACTON WARD.
The footways of the comparatively new streets in this Ward are
being proceeded with, and the moiety of costs is being contributed by
the owners or occupiers without occasion to resort (except in one or two
minor instances) to legal proceedings. There is every reason to
believe that by the end of the year the entire work will have been
completed, and the share of costs to be contributed by the owners or
occupiers will have been paid.
The extent of the works undertaken will be more fully ascertained
by reference to the Surveyor's report.
GREAT EASTERN STREET—SHOREDITCH IMPROVEMENT.
The first of these new streets was opened in October last, on which
occasion the Metropolitan Board attended, and after the ceremony
partook of luncheon in the Town Hall. The Vestry found it necessary
to make some representations to the Board as to the level upon which
the street was being constructed. During its progress the alleged
defect was remedied, and in that respect the thoroughfare may now be
said to be satisfactory.
The Shoreditch High Street widening was so far as the thoroughfare
is concerned completed at Christmas last.
It is satisfactory to see that there are indications that the building
land adjacent to each improvement will be speedily and satisfactorily
let.
