I beg to submit my Fifteenth Annual Report on the

PAVING DEPARTMENT.
The following are the principal carriageway and footway
paving works executed during the year: —
WINCHESTER STREET.
The carriageway and footways of this thoroughfare from
Little Winchester Street to Cathedral Street have been repaved
with new stone. The carriageway was paved with new 3x7
inch Aberdeen granite pitching on a foundation of six inches of
lias lime concrete, and the footways were paved with new 2½ inch
York stone paving.
About 320 supl. yards of pitching, 1,000 supl. feet of York

CATHEDRAL STREET.
The carriageway and footways of this thoroughfare from
Montague Close to the south end of the railings of St. Saviour's

The old pitching in the carriageway has been taken up and
replaced by Karri wood paving on a foundation of 6 inches

The footway on the west side has been paved with new
York stone, and on the east side the old paving was re-squared
