meeting of the Board of Works was held yesterday, at the
office in Spring-gardens, Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. A
deputation from the vestry of Shoreditch attended the
board to present a memorial as to the formation of • new
street from the High-street, Shoreditch, to the City-road,
at the junction with Old-street-road. Mr, Shepherd moved
that the memorial be referred to the Streets Committee for
consideration and report. Mr. Robinson opposed the motion,
on the ground that they had no money for such purposes,
that if it was made it must be by the direct taxation
of the ratepayers, and from footle which ought to be de-
voted exclusively to sewerage purposes. Mr. H. L. Taylor
said, by referring the memorial to a committee they did
not noes arily adopt it, and it was most desirable that they
should have further information. The motion was then
put sad agreed to. A letter was received from Mr. Deputy
Harrison announcing his resignation as • member of the
board. A notification of the vamocy was ordered to be
made to the City authorites. A petitioo was premoted from
the residents of Leicester-square end neighbourhood, stating
that they had beard with feelings of alarm that • propo-
sition had been submitted for the purpose of erecting
buildings on the open space in Leicester•square ; sod be-
lieving that it would be a great evil to have sock open
space closed up, they prayed the hoard, by all the means
in its power, to resist the mime. The petition Val received
sod referred to the Streets Committee. The other bust-
' oess of a routine character was disposed of, and the board
adjourned.
