in anticipation of the current year's expenditure, that the
Vestry has again voted a similar amount to be expended, so
that before the next Report is presented, there will have been
laid upwards of 40,000 feet, or nearly eight miles of Kirbing in
the public Streets of this Parish.—The expediency of such an
expenditure is too apparent to require comment, and I believe
the general approval of the Ratepayers will amply justify not
only the past but future outlays for such works.
ANCIENT FOOTPATHS
The attention of the Vestry has of late been much engaged
to the subject of maintaining these Footpaths for the free use
of the public, as in more than one case the right has been
infringed upon, and the powers of the Vestry disputed; in the
present condition of this question, it may be considered but
necessary that I should in this Report become the exponent of
the determination of the Vestry to preserve intact in respect
to these Ways all its rights and privileges appertaining thereto.
NEW ROADS.
The additional Roads taken under the supervision of the
Vestry during the time comprehended in this Report are,—
Hill Street, from Commercial Road to the Langdale Arms
Public House, a length of 270 yards.
