In February, 1891, a long discussion took place at the New Streets Committee
on financial and other matters connected with the "New Streets" Department,
and I was requested to answer the following question: "How many new
streets does the amount of money in hand refer to?" The following is my
reply, viz :—
The New Streets Account receives monies from both paving and sewering
works, and may be classified under 3 headings, viz :—
1 Works done and paid for
2 Works advertised and contracted for, and
3 Work not yet contracted for
No 1 There can be no monies in hand with regard to this heading, for
when the Contractors have been paid, the surplus is returned to those who
have paid their apportionments in full, thus leaving on 54 paving works
and 1 sewering work a debt due to the New Streets Account of
£2,200 12s lid , being the balance of the 25 per cent. of the apportionments
not yet paid by sundry contributors
No 2 Works in progress In regard to this heading the accounts
