REPORT
TO THE VESTRY OF PADDINGTON.
Vestry Hall;
June 3Oth, 1866.
Gentlemen,
In compliance with the 198th Section
of the Metropolis Local Management Act 1855, I
beg to lay before you a Report of Works executed
during the year ending March 25th, 1866:—
Paving.
Footways have been widened and re-paved with
new three-inch Yorkshire Paving, and others
formerly repaired with Gravel have been flagged
throughout. The edges of several Gravel Footways
have been protected by a Granite Kerb.
The Crossings of Streets in fourteen places have
been paved with suitable stones.
Eighteen additional Streets, or portions of Streets,
have been cleansed, watered and repaired, which
with the previously existing Streets, make 37 miles
and 147 yards now under the jurisdiction of the
Vestry.
