the Inhabitants of the locality, been reparied and dedicated to
public control.
Also a length of about Two Hundred feet of Road in Windmill
Lane, at the boundary between the Parishes of Camberwell
and Newington has been widened, repaired and dedicated.
Similar road improvements are now being carried out by the
Vestry, which will form a portion of the current year's proceedings,
and as has been referred to in former reports, frequent
negociations for the like objects have been considered by the
Vestry, but in most instances have failed to be brought to a
satisfactory conclusion for the want of Legislative power.
PAVED AND KIRBED FOOTWAYS.
In the accounts, it will be seen that during the past year
about £600 has been expended under this head, being about
£200 in excess of the sum usually included in the estimates
for this description of work, which excess was found necessary
to be incurred, not so much in the extension of Paving and
Kirbing, as in the repair of that already laid in the main
thoroughfares of the Parish, and which the wear of some years
had necessitated. In reference to the laying down additional
Paving and Kirbing so much needed:—this, by a recent Vote
of the Vestry, is about to be carried out to a limited extent,
and which additional outlay continued, if only progressively,
will be productive of much ultimate saving, and in addition,
effect a result anxiously sought for by the Vestry, I
mean giving general satisfaction to the Ratepayers at
large.
