REPORT
TO THE VESTRY OF PADDINGTON.
Vestry Hall;
June 30th, 1865.
Gentlemen,
Pursuant to the 198th Section of the
Metropolis Local Management Act 1855, I beg to
submit a Report of Works executed in the Paving,
Lighting, and Sewers departments during the year
ending March 25th, 1865:—
Paving.
In consequence of the increase of traffic, four
Footways have been re-paved and widened from
one to three feet six inches. The pavements of
various Footways have been taken up, re-laid and
repaired with new stones.
Three Footways formerly repaired with gravel
have been flagged.
The Carriageways in three Mews have been
greatly improved, by the removal of the old pebble
and rag-stone Paving, and the substitution of new
5-in. by 6-in. squared Granite.
