METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

[The following appeared in part of our impression of
yesterday
The usual weekly meeting of the members of this
board was held this morning at the Council•chamber,
Guildhall ; Mr. Thwaites in the chair.

The minutes of the last meeting were read by the
clerk (Mr. Woolrych), and confirmed.

DEPUTATION TO THE BOARD.

The CHAIRMAN said that he had receivers an applica-
tion during the week requesting the board to receive; a
4eputation. It being the first application of the kind,
he sugested that the board should decide on receiving
dsputations in future immediately after the coufirming
the minutes of the previous meeting.
This suggestion was agreed to, and it was decided
that the app!ieation of tho deputation should be read,
and the deputation called in.
The CLcItK then read the notice from the Vestry C!erk
of St. Saviour's, Southwark, asking the board to receive
a deputation from that
.parish and a section of the St.
Saviour's District Board of Works.

The deputation was then called in. The Vestry.
Clerk (Mr. Stormy) then stated that the inhabitants of

the district above7elatned felt much sati,faction at the
notice of motion that had been given by a member of the
Board of Works for the formation of a now street frzm
the High-street, Southwark, to the West-end. Fur
years the necessity of such a means of communi-
cation had been felt, and so long ago as 1831
the subject was mooted, and 60,000/. had been ap-
propriated by act of Parliament from the coal dues to-
wards effecting it, which now with interest amounted
to about 84,000/., and was ie the hands of the Commis-
sioners of Woods and Forests.

The deputation having been interrogated by several
Of the trilbrnbers of the board saictthey had no memorial
or plans to present to the board.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that where a►n alteration to
bo made was likely to exceed the expenditure of 100,0001.
it would be necessary for them to apply to Parliament
for additional powers.
The deputation then withdrew.

Mr. Deputy FIARnisoN complained of the Board re-
ceiving deputations without any memorials to enter on
the records of the Board, and suggested that in future
the reception of deputations should be named on agenda
paper. . _ .

The CHNIRMIN said the application was received after
the paper was published. In future he would take care
notice of the reception of such boards should be entered
in the notieQ.
