Streets, and Cab Stands in several Streets have been
Paved with the best description of Granite Cubes.
The existing Channels and Carriageway Paving in
various Streets have been re-laid and repaired.
With the aid of our Steam Road Roller, the
Macadam Carriageways have been firmly and expeditiously
repaired, and the closing of the Thoroughfares
for Carriage Traffic, as sanctioned by the
Metropolitan Board of Works from time to time,
greatly facilitated the execution of the Works.

paved by the Vestry, at the cost of Owners of Houses
abutting on such Streets.

cost of Owners of Property, and taken to by the Vestry,
with the previous extent of Parish Roads, make a total

purpose of laying and repairing pipes, and executing
various alterations and additions to Houses and Stables.
