Eight New Streets, or portions thereof, have been
formed and paved by the Vestry under the powers of
"The Metropolis Management Acts" at the cost of
Owners of Houses and Land bounding or abutting

Additional Streets have been completed by Owners
of property at their expense, and to my satisfaction,
and afterwards cleansed, watered and repaired at the
cost of the Vestry, which, with the previous number,
make 40 miles 3 furlongs 184 yards at the present
