There is a continual and enormous increase of traffic in the district,
especially of omnibuses, both the principal companies running great
numbers through the Parish, besides having several large stables in it.
ASPHALTE AND TAR PAYING.
Farm Lane was asphalted with 2.in. compressed asphalte on 6.in. of
Portland cement concrete, by the French Asphalte Company, at a cost of
£1,088 10s. 9d., including the restoring the paving of the side walks. The
area was 1539 square yards, and the cost 14s. per yard super.
The London Road Car Company contributed £210 4s. 3d. for the portion
of this work in front of the entrance to their stables, and dedicated the
piece of land paved to the public.
No tar paving was done during the year, and the only other asphalte
required was for repairs to trenches made by the Gas and Water Companies.
