I again beg to suggest that the vestry should order some granite
broken to pass through a ring 2-in. in diameter, so that it might be used
for patching the roads ; also, that if the order for the granite required during
the year was given in one large order during the summer months, the
Contractors would—owing to the cheaper freights—very likely supply it as
much as 2s. a yard cheaper, which on 3000 yards would equal a saving of
£300.
I desire to call attention to the reduced estimate for Granite, although
the number of roads repaired with that material has very much increased.
