REPORT.
To the Vestry of the Hamlet of Mile End Old Town.
Gentlemen,
I beg again to lay before you a summary of the various
works executed under the direction of my department during the year,
and must once more express a regret that they are not of greater extent
and importance, the funds at your disposal for paving being insufficient
for the repairs necessitated by the ordinary traffic of the district, but I
trust that during the coming year such financial arrangements may be
made as will permit considerable work to be undertaken. The following
Table shews the quantity of work done, the cost of which was ^"647
19s. 5d. for labor, and £800 8s. 3d. for material.
New Paving, squared and laid 10,394 ft. sup.
Old do. taken up and relaid 37,309 „ „
Ditto, redressed and relaid 658 „ „
New Pitching laid 246 yds. „
Old Pitching relaid 2,573 „ „
New Curb laid 267 ft. run.
Old Curb relaid 5,531 „ „
Ditto, redressed and relaid 535 „ „
Old Channel relaid 4,228 „ „
New Tees Scoriæ Brick Channel laid 5,778 „ „
ROAD REPAIRS.
The following table will shew the quantity of material used on the
various roads; this tabular statement will I think be deemed satisfactory,
as shewing that the cost has not much increased beyond that of last
year ; it is much below the year 1884.
