only 18 feet 8 inches, and where the Vestry has
been making persistent efforts to widen the Road
and Footways to at least 45 feet, I apprehend that
nothing less than the purchase by the Company of
the property necessary to such widening could for a

of the Roadway. In my opinion it will be impossible
to accept terms short of an entire Paving of this
Roadway with such material as may be determined
on. No Macadamized Marginal Spaces at the sides
of the Tramway should be permitted for very many
reasons, and which need not be gone into in this
Report.

matters of detail are under consideration.
