REPAIRS TO PUBLIC FOOTPATHS.
The Vestry having directed, for the information
of the Ratepayers, that the "Report upon Tar
Paving, Asphalte, &c.," which your Committee
presented in June last, should form a portion of
their Annual Report, it is unnecessary further to
refer to this subject than to state that, following
closely upon the reception of that Report, your
Committee were authorized to commence a portion
of the works therein referred to, viz.:—
Paving with Val de Travers Asphalte the Footway
in the Peckham Road on the north side, from the
Vestry Hall to Brunswick Square; also, with
Wright's Tar paving, the Footway of the Peckham
Road on the south side, from Vestry Road to Peckham
High Street, at Peckham House, both of
which specimens of paving have been since reported
upon by your Committee as satisfactorily
executed; and, as by a third Report adopted by
the Vestry, they were further authorised to proceed
with additional works of Tar Paving, they have to
announce that at the time of compiling this Report,
these works are being carried out with all despatch,
in order to complete, as much as possible, before
the Winter.
