The cost of maintenance of these Works under
Contract is, for Westbourne Grove, the sum of l1d.
per square yard per annum for 8 years after the first
two years from the time of completion; and for
Southwick Street, 1s. per square yard per annum for
13 years after the first two years from the time of
completion.
Various Channels, Crossings, and Intersections of
Streets have been paved with Granite cubes or blocks,
and the existing carriageway pavements in many
Streets were relaid and repaired as required.
The Footway paving in many parts of the Parish
was taken up, relaid, and repaired with new flagstones
as the nature of the traffic required.
The repairs of the Roadways were greatly facilitated
during the usual diversion of Vehicular traffic,
and with the aid of our Steam Road Roller the
metalling of the surface in each Street was rapidly
consolidated.
The additional Wharf premises, lately provided
for the storage of Materials, have been the means of
expediting the various Works connected with the
Highways, and must continue to operate beneficially
in the interests of the Parish. The requisite increase
of space for Office work has resulted in an improvement
to health.
Additional New Streets have been made, in compliance
with the printed regulations of the Vestry
