Hygienic Street Paving.
In April, 1904, the Health Committee addressed a
communication to the Highways Committee, asking that
Committee to take into consideration the question of paving the
carriage ways of certain side streets, particularly those in which
diarrhoea had been prevalent in previous summers, with an
impervious paving such as asphalt. The Highways Committee
decided to give this form of paving a trial, and during that year
the carriageways of the following fourteen streets were paved
with tarred-slag macadam. This material gives a smooth
impervious surface, and is much less expensive than asphalt.

In 1905 further progress was made with the paving of
street carriageways with impervious paving, and during the year
the following twenty-one streets were paved with tarred-slag
macadam. The total area paved was 33,134 square yards in
extent.
