REPORT.
Gentlemen,
I beg again to lay before you a summary of
the various works carried out under the direction of
my department.
carriageway paving.
Although no new work has been executed under this
head, I have reported to your Highways Committee on
the necessity of paving some of the most frequented
thoroughfares, and as a report on the subject will be
shortly presented to you it would be presumption on
my part to further discuss the subject here, more than
to call your attention to the satisfactory state of the
works executed by you in the Mile End and Commercial
Roads, which have not cost anything up to the
present time for repairs since the paving was laid.
One hundred tons of 4-inch pitching have been used
in paving crossings in Jubilee Street, Charles Street,
Oxford Street and Turner Street, in which have been
used tram stones purchased from the Limehouse District
Board of Works in addition to those which the
Vestry had of their own.
