Sundry repairs have been (lone from time to time to the foot and
carriage-ways pavings throughout the district, so as to maintain the
same in an efficient state.
The paving of the unpaved portion of the Parish of Limehouse
is completed, with the exception of some of the Courts and Alleys.
UNPAVED ROADS.
These roads have been repaired from time to time, as occasion
required, with gravel and broken stone.
Mary Street and John Street, Rhodeswell Road, Limehouse, have
been taken under the control of the Board, a contribution having been
paid towards the expenses of paving, &c., by the owners ; the roadways
have been formed and made up with gravel.
CLEANSING.
The principal roads and streets in the district have been swept
twice a week by the men in the employ of the Board.
The Contractors for scavenging and removing the dust have been
fined several times for neglecting to carry out the terms of their
contracts.
An alteration has been made in the contracts entered into from
Michaelmas, 18G1, to Michaelmas, 1862; the scavenging and watering
being contained in one contract, instead of being let in separate contracts
as previously.
WATERING. 1
The whole of the streets and places in the district have been
watered by the Contractor with water supplied by the East London
WaterWorks Company, between the 18th March and 12th October,
1861.
LIGHTING.
The number of public lamps in the district is 649, being an increase
of 12 on the number reported at Lady-day, 1861.
The increase in the number of lamps is principally caused by the
erection of new lamps in the New Victoria Park Approach Load.
