Urinals.
The Vestry submitted a proposal to the Vestry
of St. George, Hanover Square, for the construction
of a urinal and retiring rooms for women at the
junction of the parishes over the King's Scholars' Pond
Sewer, but that Vestry declined to entertain the suggestion
or to appoint a Sub-Committee to meet a Committee of the
neighbouring Vestry to confer upon the question.
The urinal standing in St. Ann's Street " during the
pleasure of the Governors of the Grey Coat Hospital "was
ordered to be removed in consequence of the Governors
having disposed of the land adjacent thereto for the erection
of a clergy house for the St. Matthew's Church.
Considerable attention was paid to a proposal received
from the International Hygienic Society to erect
Public Retiring rooms or a "Kiosk" in the parish, upon
certain conditions and in accordance with plans submitted.
The Works Committee granted an interview with the
Managing Director of the Society, and after consideringalternative

the Committee, passed the following resolution :—
" That the Vestry give their consent so far as they legally may, to
the erection by the International Hygienic Society, of a kiosk
on the proposed site by the Sessions House, according to plans
to be approved by the Committee and subject to the execution

solicitor's hands.

Vestry by some 40 ratepayers at Albert Gate, Knightsbridge,
urging upon the Vestry the desirability of demolishing
the urinal at Knightsbridge Green. The Memorialists
