The defective portions of the carriageway paving of Mount-street,
which had arisen from the diversion of the traffic during the stoppage
of Bethnal Green-road, to enable the new street to be formed, have
been repaired by the contractor at his own cost.
While constructing the new Board Schools, Nichols row, a considerable
portion of the footway paving was demolished; and, after
negotiations with the School Board authorities and the contractor, it
was arranged upon payment by the contractors of £60 to pave the
whole of the footways around the Schools with new patent Victoria
stone.
Repairs to footways, after the removal of scaffolding and openings
in the carriageways after drainage works have been carried out, have
been done by the Vestry's workmen at the cost of the persons disturbing
the same.
Jobbing repairs to footways and paved carriageways, channels,
and crossings have been carried out in the streets enumerated below
by men in the employ of the Vestry:—
