UNEMPLOYED LABOUR.
Lewisham Parish.
In order afford some temporary relief to the unemployed
labourers, &c., the District, the Board continued their practice
of the last two years, commenced the work of paving and
faming Mount Pleasant Road, Ivy Lane, and Westwood Park.
Porthea we Road, Relinque Road, and Maddin Road, Lower Sydenham,
were not commenced by the 25th March, but have been
started since. The materials for all these streets have been purchased
tinder special contracts, and the labour, as far as possible,
has been confined to those who were out of employment and residing
within the District.
Hamlet of Penge.
No new street were paved and formed in Penge during the
year, consequently no opportunity occurred in this way to find
relief for the unemployed.
The laying out of the Penge Recreation Ground, however,
afforded work to many men through the winter.
