REPORT.
Gentlemen,
I have much pleasure in again submitting to you a statement
of the works carried out in my department.
It has been necessary to replace the portion of the paving on the
north side of Commercial Road, between a point short of the "George
Public House" and the western boundary, part of the road repaired by
the Yestry. The New Road has, by the ordinary wear, required
repaving.
The portion of the Commercial Road above referred to was paved by
the Tramway Company and represented the compensation to the St.
George's Yestry, which they were entitled to under the Tramway Act,
and which this Vestry had the benefit of when they arranged to keep
this part of the road in repair for the St. George's Vestry they, taking
in exchange, an equal area at the western end of the road.
This paving, which was 4-in. by 7-in. Rowley rag stone, was laid
in 187 .
The New Road was laid in 1852.
The work has been carried out under contract by Mr. Rutty in a
satisfactory manner. The old stone arising from these works has been
laid in Steel's Lane, Cadiz Street, Friendly Place, now Ely Terrace, and
the crossings of the streets lying between the New Road and Philpot
Street, Lady Lakes Grove and Assembly Passage.
The quantities laid were as follows:—
Yards super.
New 4-in. by 7-in. Kincardineshire pitching 3328
Old pitching redressed and relaid 3998
The cost of these works was £2,749 16s. 0d.
CARRIAGEWAY PAVING.
