Clarence Street.
On 6th April, 1897, the General Purposes and Works Committee reported with
reference to the proposed crossing in Clarence Street, from Dodd's Place to York Place
having had submitted to them the following report of the Surveyor:-

the two years ending March, 1897, amounts to £81 9s. 7d. The roadway now requires
picking up, stoning all over with broken granite, and rolling, the cost of which I estimate at
£135. I also estimate the cost of paving the roadway with 4-in. by 7-in. granite setts upon a
foundation of 6 in. cement concrete, (including relaying the existing kerb on concrete, relaying
the footways, and providing new stones where required,) at £1,375.
I cannot at present recommend the street to be paved, as the existing sewer is in a very
defective condition and will be required to be relaid before very long, but, as it will be dealt
with in my scheme for the re-drainage of that district, I have refrained from bringing this
matter before you until I submit the entire scheme for your consideration.
Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Committee—That Clarence Street bo
temporarily repaired for the present, and that the question of the crossing stand over until
the existing sewer has been relaid, and that the Committee then take into consideration the
question of paving the whole of the street upon loan.

On 2nd November, 1897, the Vestry Resolved—That the Surveyor prepare an estimate
of the cost of macadamising that portion of the roadway at present unmade, and paving the
