Plan for public mills and reservoirs discussed at Guildhall
Friday's Common Council meeting in London reviewed D Calonne's plan to build a corn grinding mill and a flour store on the Tower ditch with a dam dividing into two basins. The court referred the matter to the 1797 committee to investigate and report. Letters from Rear-admiral Nelson and Captain Berry expressed gratitude to the City for its support and requested ward devices to be presented.
