There was a considerable amount of work done to the footways
which under this contract would come to about £500, but by putting
it under the present general prices charged by our contractor, would
be considerably reduced. There has been done an extra amount of
work to that provided for in the estimate of 500 yards super value,
£435 8s. 4d. The materials received into stock from these streets,
paving, pitching, and macadam, I estimate at the value of about
£ 1500
In Section No. 2, the extras amount io£302 7s. 1 id. The deductions
amount to £2338 5s. 1d., which was caused by a large quantity of
pitchings being allowed to remain, as they were found to be too good
to be disturbed, and were only partially relaid, and which the Tramway
Company carried out at their expense. In the above amount for
deductions there is£150 for channel stones used, and £450 allowed
as a portion of this contract was executed with 3 in. X 6 in. instead
of 3 in. X 7 in. pitching.
