PARISH OF PUTNEY.
During the past year the following improvements
have been effected, viz.:—
High Street.
On the east side of High Street, opposite
Nos. 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11, the dangerous sunk paving by
which these premises were approached has been raised to
the general level of the footpath, and the obstructing
steps and iron railings removed. The basements of these
premises are now made free from floods to which they
were before subject during storms. They have been
lighted with pavement lights in lieu of stall boards owing
to the altered level of the footpath. The total cost of this
work was £95 0s. 11d.
