granite setts for channelling the same, the Vestrv passed a
resolution that these setts be purchased, the work to be
executed by the Vestry workmen. This has been done to
the extent of about 300 yards superficial of paving.
Credon Road and Cranswick Road. Channelling
has also been executed in these Roads fronting the Board
School.
Portions of Land have been paved where Shop
Fronts, &c., have been brought out in advance of the
General Line of Buildings, but not fully up to the Public
footway, the land intervening between such advanced line
and the pathway, being added to the Public way. With
regard to all such portions of land, a letter was received
from the County Council stating that it was their intention
to impose (under 46 Vic., cap. 14, sec. .9) the following
condition as to land to be dedicated to public use in front
of buildings erected beyond the building line,
"That the whole of the land in front of the same be
dedicated to the use of the public."
Your Surveyor, at the request of the Committee,
made a report upon this subject, in which he stated that,
"This Vestry has made it a practice on the giving up of
land under the above conditions to at once claim it and
pave the surface." As to the proposition of the London
County Council to substitute " That the whole of the land
in front of the same be dedicated to the use of the public,"
he said, "I am of opinion it would be an additional
security for obtaining the same object."
