of the London County Council now sent to the Vestry, and

the Vestry."

the value of the agendas and reports of Committees, as sent

representatives upon such questions before the Board as
affected their respective areas."

practice of the late Metropolitan Board of Works in this
respect; that the Councillors for the Division be asked to
support the request; and that communications be addressed

they might make similar representations to the County Council
on the subject, and solicit the support of the Councillors of
their respective Divisions thereto."
