Public Improvements.
Patent Victoria Stone has been laid in the Friern
Barnet Road between Friern Lane and Kennard Road, and
paving repairs have been carried out in many parts of the
District. Arrangements are being made for further widenings
by the Council Offices, Friern Lane, and Colney Hatch
Lane. The Avenue Road has been extended into Oakleigh
Road South, thus doing away with a most objectionable
cul-de-sac and opening up a poor neighbourhood. The
sanction of the Local Government Board has been applied
for for a loan for paving works, etc.
Oakleigh Road South.— A loan for Patent Victoria Stone
Paving is being sought tor this widened footpath on the
east side from Friein Barnet Road to the Boundary of the
District by the Recreation Ground.
New Roads.— The Owners of various estates have
opened and constructed roads called Hilton Avenue and
Pet worth Road.
Private Street Works.— Bawtry Road, Alma Road'
Torrington Park (western portion), Oakleigh Park North,
at an expenditure of £y354. have been made up under the
150th Section of the public Health Act, 1875. The Council's
Contractors are now at work making up Sutton Road
and St. John's Avenue.
Notices have been served to make up, etc,, Park View
Crescent and Spencer Road.
Alexandra Road.— This road is in a disgraceful condition
and badly requires making up, and the Council are still
endeavouring to come to an agreement with the Wood Green
Council so that the road which lies in the two Districts may
be made up jointly.
Lighting.— Almost all the District has now automatic
clockwork all-night incandescent lamps. With the great
increase of motor traffic, adequate lighting of street crossings,
ete.,is necessary tor the public safety.
