Description

Unique IDA-00294482SeriesLetters Received, 1843-1899 [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 2nd March 1865 and 6th March 1865Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionLetter: Richard Brigden Elizabeth St Pyrmont, writing at length about Harvey St and the fence erected by Mr Windon along the middle of the street preventing traffic movement in Harvey St, the end of which has been resumed by the Corporation to permit continuation through the Ultimo estate. (Note: It appears by some deeds which I saw that Mr Brigden and Mr Windon agreed to give each 10 feet towards laying out Elizabeth Street. Some time afterwards Mr Brigden put his fence into the middle of this street and assigned as his reason that it was dangerous to the public - and he only fenced it for safety - Mr Windon complained to me of this but I could render him no assistance because the street had never been dedicated to the public - Mr Brigden then came to complain of Mr Windon and I advised him to pull the fence down which he had erected in the street. It appeared he did so, but it was too late as Mr Windon commenced at the same time to resume his land - and erect a fence to his alignment - and appears determined to maintain his fence in that position. The City has never claimed the street nor made it and therefore has no cognizance of it. It is a private matter between the two parties and such it must remain until the street is dedicated to the public: EB; 6/3/65)LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
