During the year the Tramway Company have completed their lines in
the Parish, and the work of paving in Cambridge road to the extent of
9333 yards super carriageway rclaid and grouted, which was carried out
in a most satisfactory manner. The relaying of the carriageway paving
in the Hackney road was well carried out, although it was a work of
some difficulty, in consequence of the straight lines of rails in some places
interfering with the curve of the road. I caused a wide width of paving
to be relaid on the outside of each outer rail: this necessitated the
relaying of carriageway paving to the extent of 5649 yards. In Boundary
street, 376 yards of dressed pitching has been laid and grouted, 259
yards of ditto provided and laid, 171 yards of carriageway relaid and
grouted, 101 yards of second-hand pitching provided and laid, 84 yards
super now 3 in. by 7 in. pitching laid and grouted, a moiety of which
will be borne by the Yestry of Shoreditch.
