    HARROW COTTAGE HOSPITAL. This Institution is a great credit to the town. Being of the most modern type, it affords the medical men of the neighbourhood the greatest facilities for obtaining the best results. It deserves the generous financial support of all who are interested in the health of Harrow and sur¬ rounding districts. There are 20 beds and 2 cots, all used alike for medical and surgical cases. HARROW BOUNDARIES. I hope that when the Town Planning Scheme is accomplished the Mount Park area will be included in Harrow, to which it naturally belongs. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. Mr. J. Percy Bennetts, your Engineer and Surveyor, reports :— Town Planning. “The question of Town Planning has been proceeded with, the Council has served the preliminary notices, and the Local Government Board has held the first Inquiry. The number of plans approved by the Council was —-29 houses ; 9 shops and dwelling houses ; 4 flats ; 19 alterations and additions ; 5 new buildings not dwellings ; 1 lock-up shop ; 1 new railway station ; 1 hall; 1 road ; 7 temporary buildings. Fifty-three houses and 1 combined shop and dwell¬ ing have been erected and approved on completion. Frequent visits have been made to houses in course of erection and all defects found have been remedied. The Mortuary has been used in 15 cases. The Council has acquired another 8 acres of land adjoining their present Allotments at Roxeth, for the purposes of Allotments, and will take possession in August.
