The remainder (660 yds.) being old pebbles and pitchings,
too much worn to be re-dressed. 107 yards cube of old York
Paving was also broken up in the yard and used in concrete.
Many of the Channels in the Macadam roads are paved
with pebbles, and as a rule these Pebble Channels are in
a very dilapidated condition. The policy has been to
pave the channels with re-dressed pitchings, and to break
up the Pebbles and use them as Macadam, rolling them
in with the steam road roller.
These Streets being in very bad condition, the Improved
Industrial Dwellings Company was communicated with.
The estimated cost of relaying the Channels, thoroughly
