The Board also caused to be prepared by the Surveyor plans
for a system of Public Urinals and Conveniences to be erected in
the Broad Sanctuary, which would have combined, with the accommodation
required gratuitously by the public, the convenience of a
Dressing Room and other appliances for such persons as were willing
to pay a small fee for the same; but the Board much regrets
that this scheme had to be abandoned, in consequence of the conditions
imposed by the Magistrates of the County of Middlesex,
to whom the site in question belongs.
Street Paving and Road Repairs.
6. In addition to the periodical coatings required for the macadamized
roads, and the ordinary repairs and small works, the
Board has chiefly devoted its attention to the flagging of courts,
no less than 28 of which have been newly paved, viz.—
Bridge Court, Windsor Court,
Bond Court, Caroline Place,
Eliza Place, Brunswick Place,
George's Place, Chapter Place,
Union Court, Carey Place,
Causton Court, Hugh Place,
Henry's Place, Pool Place,
Carpenter's Buildings, Bell Place,
St. Bride's ditto, Bentinck Place,
Elizabeth Place, Cottage Place,
Kine Court, New Court,
Amelia Place, Ann's Place,
Bond Court, Phoenix Court,
Adams Buildings, Clark's Cottages.
The value of these works, and those of Drainage before mentioned,
can only be appreciated by those who were acquainted
with the previous condition of these courts and places, and who
have attended to the vast improvements effected in a physical and
sanitary point of view.
The Board has also caused the greater part of the carriageway
and footways of King Street to be relaid, replacing the
defective materials with new.
