A similar work in Queen's Road, Peckham

portions which will be affected by the Metropolitan
Improvements now in hand), under the £12,500 Loan,
(also specially obtained from the Metropolitan Board
of Works,) was let by public tender to Mr. G. G. Rutty,
by whom the work has been efficiently executed.
The execution of these works will produce a
considerable annual saving, not only in materials for
Repairs, but also in the watering and cleansing of
these Roads; in the latter especially, as it reduces

and carted to the now fast disappearing slop shoots
in the Parish, and beside this, the improved draught on
a permanent stone road, compared with that on a
broken stone road, is an incalculable benefit to the
Horse Traffic as well as economical to the general
Vehicular Traffic.
