wood pavement.
The wood pavement at Walham Green has received a good
deal of attention during the year, and is in every respect so satisfactory
a pavement as to be an inducement to increase the area of
wood paving in this parish.
side walks.
The pavements of the side walks in this parish are almost
entirely of York stone. In a report on the subject of footpavements
laid before the Paving Sub Committee, I stated that the
stones used in this and the adjoining parishes are smaller and
more irregular in size than I have previously been accustomed
to see. In order to obviate these defects I specified a larger
size, and a better quality stone, and the new paving laid
down from time to time by the contractors has been of a
much improved character. The specified size of the stones is still
in my opinion not large enough.
I should be glad if the Vestry would give me an opportunity
of testing side by side with York stones some of the new paving
materials that are in the market.
