New
Streets—
Apportionment
charges.
The Vestry reconsidered the question of the collection
of amounts under Orders of Apportionment of
the cost of paving New Streets, and having regard to
the fact that all new streets are now formed and made up by
workmen directly employed by the Vestry, under the supervision
of the Surveyor, and that the Vestry are consequently required
to make prompt payments for labour and materials, and that the
General Rate Funds cannot be applied to the execution of
private works, directed that in future the making up and paving
of new streets be not proceeded with until three-fourths of the
amounts due under such orders of apportionment have been
actually received.
Trees on
Footways.
The Vestry gave directions to the Surveyor, in the
making-up of new streets, that in future no trees
should be allowed to remain therein unless protected with
substantial iron guards, provided by the respective owners ; and
the Surveyor was instructed to call upon the owners of adjoining
premises where trees, or guards thereto, in the public streets,
are broken, to replace such trees or guards, and, in default, to
remove the same.

time, the Vestry under the provisions of the contract imposed a
fine of £15 os. od.—£7 10s. od. in respect of each road.
