§ MR. RADCLIFFE COOKE (Newington, W.)asked the Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, Whether, in view of the want of employment in South London, there is any immediate prospect of the proposed new street from Great Dover Street, Borough, through to Tabard Street, and the buildings for the re-housing of the working classes in connection therewith being proceeded with?
§ THE CHAIRMAN (Sir JAMES M'GAREL-HOGG) (Middlesex, Hornsey)I beg to inform the hon. Member that the Board hopes to commence the clearance of the remainder of the houses acquired for the new street within a month of the present date. A contract 471 will be entered into immediately afterwards for the construction of the street itself. When this work is completed artizans' buildings will be commenced upon the land to be devoted to that purpose.
