SURVEYOR'S
ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 25th, 1896.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit my Report upon the work
carried out under the Surveyor's Department of your Vestry during
the year ending March 25th, 1896. My duties as your Surveyor
commenced in October, 1895, so that I have had the superintendence
of this Department for the latter five months of the period covered
by this Report. I have, therefore, thought it desirable to follow the
arrangement of the previous Report.
The actual cost of the various Works carried out are set forth
in full detail, so that the relative expenditure on labour, materials,
cartage, &c., can be readily seen.
The principal Paving Works, carried out during the year, are as
follows:-
The completion of the paving of Old Kent Road with Jarrahdale
Jarrah Blocks. Borough High Street, from Borough Road to Great
Suffolk Street, has been repaved with Jarrahdale Jarrah blocks 3 by 9
by 53/8.
Borough High Street from Long Lane to the Parish Boundary,
was relaid with wood in May, 1895, by the Improved Wood Pavement
Company, under the Contract entered into with them on April 22nd,
1885, for laying and maintaining Wood Paving in this Street for a
period of twenty years.
The Paving of Marshall Street with redressed Granite Setts was
completed early in the year.
Webber Street from Blackfriars Road to Webber Row has also
