REPORT OF IMPROVENIEN COMIUTTEE.

Your Committee report that they have appointed
Mr. Henry James the permanent chairman of the
committee. Your Committee recommend that
your chairman, M. W. Platt, be added to this
committee. Your Committee also recom-nend that
t is desirable in the public interests to increase the
height and straighten the second bridge over the
river Stour, she same being the boundary bridge
between Wore este,shire and Staffordshire, and near
to Movers. lurney's works. With rega:d to Mr.
Strineer's claim for right of way over the Foster
sod Wei S vets property your committee recom-
mend a tender of £5 be made to him in respect
thereof. Your c unmittee have received a letter
dated 12th instant from Mr. J. Atte ooci, of Union
Street, in which he offer., with the view of extend-
ing. West Sir et, Beauty Bank, into Rowing Green
Lane, to give to your Board, land, containing- about
816 square ye ds, on condition that your_Board will
kerb, chann-1, and metal the proposed new street
thus formed. Mr. Attwood also tgrees if the
above offer is entertained to give land in Bowling
Green Lane, containing about 80 square yards, and
having a frontage of 52 yards, on condition that
your Board will undertake to kerb, channel, and
metal the same, have the said footpath paved, and
rebuild the wall on the boundary line. Your
committee consider the above offer will gle atly
facilitate and promote the public convenience, and
therefore recommend your Board to accept and
adopt them. The thanks of the Board are due to
Mr. Attwood for his offers. Widening of Heath
Street. Your committee beg to report prog(33.
Widening of Cemetery Road. Mr. Thomas Parkes
has offered to give as much land as the Board may
think fit at the corner of the road, leading to the
cemetery near the brook, so as to make a goo i
road, provided your • Board will put the ground
ready for the Iron fence he intends to erect. As
tbis will be a great improvement your commi-tee
recommend that the offer be accepted, and Mr.
Parkes thanked for his generous offer. Ye ir
commi tee advise that the resolutions appoin i
Mr. Wm. Perry as Town Surveyoi, and Mr Henry
Mills as your solicitor, be sealed with the seal of
the Board; also the agreement with Mr. Alrred
Parkes for ae removing of n;ght soil. Plane of
new buildings have been received from Nlr. Coombes
for a shop in High Street; also from Mr. R. Cooper
for a shop in Covent!), Street. The former your
committee recommend be approved subject to
compliance with the byeaws. The latter plans
show a proposal to sell a projecting part of the
property to the Board at a cost of 30a per square
yard. Your committee recommend that in order
to increase the width of' Coventry Street the
preperty be set bach a distance of two or three feet,
and Vat they have instructed the surveyor to see
Mr. R. Cocper with re-pect thereto, and to obtain
his price for the same.
With reference to the re-construction of the
bridge over the river Stour Mr. Tarney said a
few years ago r. tender had been got for Joing the
work, and the amount was £47. The Stourbridge
Commissioners would only have to pay half of that,
and it would not be a large sum, especially when it
was considered that in the last few years three
vers.ons had been drowned through falling over
those bridges.
This wes put to the meeting and carried.
Mr. Stringer's claim was accepted.
A letter was read from Mr. Attwood stating that
his reason for cffering the land was that a very
