It has not been necessary to purchase any broken granite, for
repairs to the macadam carriageways during the year, as an ample
supply has been provided from the old macadam which was removed
from Borough Road, and a quantity of old granite setts, useless for
paving purposes, have also been broken up. In the repairs to macadam
carriageways, 678 cubic yards of old macadam, 106 cubic yards of
broken granite, and 156 cubic yards of fine siftings for binding, have
been used from stock. The total cost of repairing the macadam
