I hope before long to erect urinals in parts of the district
that will prove remunerative, clearly and entirely out of sight,
and, while filling a great sanitary requirement, will repay for
any extra outlay or any supervision necessary.
SPECIAL WORKS AND APPLICATIONS.
Give-and-take line, Sloane Street.—A give-and-take line was
arranged at the corner of this street, at Messrs. Harvey,
Nichols & Co., in which 25 feet superficial was given to the
public way and about 5 feet taken for building purposes.
Imperial Institute Road.—A new road nearly 1,200 feet long
was formed across the Horticultural Gardens, which has been
properly sewered. It connects Queen's Gate with Exhibition
Road. The application was made by Henry Hunt, Esq.
Bridge, Howick Place.— An application was made on behalf
of the Army and Navy Stores to construct a bridge across this
Place, but when it came before the Building Act Committee of
the Metropolitan Board of Works, at which I attended, it was
unanimously refused.
James Street Site for Soldiers' Institute.—It was thought
desirable that an improvement should be affected here by purchasing
a strip of land, but after many months treaty it was
found impossible, and the scheme had to be abandoned.
Trees. Grosvenor Road.—Tree in this road have been
planted, and I have every hopes of their going on well, for
they will, if they thrive, form a nice feature to this long
stretch of river frontage.
"Kiosks," Hygienic Company.—After submitting designs for
Kiosks to be erected in several parts of this district, the
arrangement required for them to enter into was too stringent,
and they had to abandon the idea, which I am sorry, as they
are doing well in several of the Metropolitan Parishes.
