been necessary for the Board to consent to the temporary
stoppage of certain highways in Fulham. As the works are now

WOOD PAVEMENTS.
The Board being desirous of laying down wood paving in
King Street East from the Broadway, past the West London

committee, after visiting and inspecting the wood paving works
then in progress for the Kensington Vestry by the Asphalte
Wood Paving Company, Messrs. Henson and Co., and Messrs.
Nowell and Robson, recommended the Board to ask these
various contractors to tender for the paving of King Street East
from the Broadway to Rowan Road, and the Board subsequently
accepted the tender of Messrs. Nowell and Robson.
