binding purposes during t,he ensuing year. Kentish Rag makes
a very good road where there are steep hills, but being of a somewhat
greasy nature, it is better mixed with some other stone—
Anerley-hill has been made up with it, mixed with granite, and
Belvedere-road with Kent Rag and Flints mixed. Roth roads
arc now in good condition and there are no loose stones about.
A greater quantity of broken granite is required in Sydenham
and Forest hill.
TAR PAVEMENT.
A great many of the footpaths were repaired with tar pavement
in different ways, amounting to a total of 138,441 superficial
yards, or over 28½ acres. by tar painting the footpaths before
they are worn too far they are preserved for a considerable time,
but it makes an immense area to be dealt with every year.

ARTIFICIAL STONE PAVEMENT.
By direction of the Penge Committee I had a small quantity
of Artificial Stone Pavement made, which has been laid (since
the 25th March) in Anerley-road, opposite the Vestry Hall. To
make a good artificial stone it is essential that the wearing surface
should be composed of a hard aggregate, mixed with about
half its quantity of high class Portland cement. The majority
of artificial stone makers have used crushed granite and Portland
cemcnt, in the proportion of 2 to 1; but as both these materials
are very expensive, it occurred to me that the stones might be
made in two layers, the top made of these materials and the
