Union Road—Extensive repairs have been necessary in this road. The kerbs, for a
length of 540 ft., footways for an area of 2304 square ft., and GOO square yards of pitching
have been relaid; of this latter area 264 square yards was occasioned by the rearrangement
of the levels to suit the wood paving-4aid in front of Christ Church, an area of 58| square
yards belonging to the Tramway Company, the amount charged to them being £8 Is. 4d.
In September last, following the agreement with the Tramway Company, the roadway from
the west side of Cathay Street to the west side of No. 29, a length of 175 ft., was paved with
wood upon a concrete foundation, the area from the kerb to the tram rail on both sides
being executed in " Jarrahdale Jarrah " blocks by the Vestry employees, and the space
between the rails in " Stringy Bark " blocks by the Company ; in both cases the blocks
were 9 in. by 5 in. by 3 in. The cost of the work executed by the Vestry amounted to
£317 10s. 10d., the amount chargeable to the Tram Company for 3 ft. on each side of the
rails being £97 8s. 2d., reduced by the value of the old setts, which we retained, to
£67 14s. lOd.
