plans embracing stabling, hay lofts, men's conveniences, weigh-bridge and office,
and dust-shoots, recommending the acceptance of plans marked B. These were
referred back, and it was not until the 7th July that a scheme was adopted.
Acting upon instructions, your Surveyor on the 15th July, 1890, applied to the
London County Council for a loan of £7,200, embracing £3,300 for stabling and
other structural works, repayable over a period of thirty years, and £3,900 for
horses, carts, machinery, &c., repayable over a period of ten years.
Following this, after the Vestry's approval of plans marked F, a modified
application was sent, amounting to £6,000, embracing £2,100 in regard to the
first mentioned proposed outlay, and £3,900 upon the second outlay.
The Council in acceding to this application, varied it by advancing only
£1,700 upon structural works, repayable over a period of thirty years, and £4,300
upon horses, plant, &c., repayable over a period of five years.
Working drawings and specifications having been prepared, tenders were
advertised for, and the lowest but one, submitted by Mr. James Steed, builder, of
Chalk Farm Road, N.W., was accepted.
