Westminster (Parliament Street) Improvements
As immediately affecting the parish the Westminster
(Parliament Street) Improvements Bill was closely examined
Its main object was to obtain an extension of time by four
years from August, 1890 for the works authorised by the
original Act The Committee reported their opinion that
no action was called for on the part of the Vestry; but as
this view was not acquiesced in, the matter stood referred
back to the Committee at Lady-Day
The parish was also affected by the Public Libraries Act,
1855, Amendment Bill, whereby it was proposed to dispense
with the levying of a separate rate for the expenses of
Public Libraries, and to collect the same with and as part
of the poor rate On the recommendation of the Committee
the Vestry approved of the principle of the Bill
Another matter immediately affecting the parish, and
which was therefore closely watched by the Committee,
was comprised in several applications for leave to lay down
mains for the supply of the electric light Reference to this
subject was given somewhat fully at pp 243-6 of the last
Annual Report; it is therefore proposed to omit all tedious
details here
