REPORT.
Gentlemen,
I have now much pleasure in laying before
you a statement of the various works carried out under
my superintendence during the year ending March 25,
1875.
The paving of the roadways of Mile End Road and
Commercial Road, together with the streets paved with
the old stone from these roads, have been maintained
by Messrs. Mowlem and Mr. Griffiths, under their
contracts, and at the end of the agreed time the roads
were handed over to you in a satisfactory condition.
Carriageway Paving.
The only work of importance under this head has
been carried out at the entrance to Stepney Green ;
the quantity laid was 575 yards, and the total cost
£406 17s. 6d.
Footway Paving.
During the year there has been laid 5,050 feet of
2½-inch, and 10,123 feet of 2-inch paving. The cost
has been £416 6s. 2d.
The following tables shew so favorable a comparison
with all former years, and prove the statements made
in my special report to you two years since, on the subject
of paving the Mile End and Commercial Roads,
that I think scarcely necessary to do more than let
them speak for themselves.
