CHAMPION PARK.
London Brighton & South Coast Railway.
Upon completion of the works of restoration
of the road, &c., of the landslip at the Railway
cutting in this Park, by Denmark Hill Station, the
road channel next the railway has been pitchpaved,
partly with old stone in stock at the Vestry
depot, and the work has been executed by the men
employed by the Vestry; also new crossings have
been laid.
STEAM ROAD ROLLER.
The Vestry having decided to try the experiment
of steam rolling the new material placed on the
Roads, a Steam Road Roller has been occasionally
hired from Mr. Wood, of Crockenhill, Kent. This
roller has been in work for 71 days, at a cost of £162
for the hire of the same, in addition to which the
Vestry find all fuel, water, &c.
ROADSIDE SEATS.
In the rural parts of the parish the existing
seats on the sides of the footways have been
repaired and many new ones set up in favourable
positions for the use of the public.
