the clerk to withhold for the present the advertisement ordered by
the Vestry, and have agreed upon the following recommendation for

order to avoid a re-appointment and the consequent part control of
the London County Council and the Local Government Board :—
That the necessary steps be taken at a special meeting of the
Vestry to alter the terms of Inspector Lightfoot's appointment
by substituting the words, "£150 as from the 1st
February proximo, to be increased by conditional annual
increments of £10 to a maximum of £200," in place of the
words, " £120 as from 1st April proximo, and be further
increased by conditional annual increments of £5 to a
maximum of £150."

inspector for the measurement and registration of underground
rooms, at weekly wages of £2 2s. 0d., subject to a week's notice on
either side, the engagement to terminate at the expiration of eight
