The total area of wood pavement laid in this
Parish during the last six years is 90,719 yards
superficial, and in extent is equal to 5 miles 1
furlong and 52 yards, at the rate of 30 feet in width
of roadway.
The gravel roadway in Dudley Street has been
removed, and granite cube paving substituted to an
extent of 474 square yards. The sanitary condition
of the street is thereby much improved by this
operation.
All necessary repairs to water channels and
granite crossings have been carried out, and
various improvements effected.
In many parts of the Parish the footway pavements
were taken up, relaid, repaired, and new flags
substituted for those much worn by excessive traffic
in the streets.
Repairs to the roadways and the extended use of
granite on many of the new streets, rendered necessary
by the increasing traffic, were executed with
the aid of two steam rollers as heretofore.
For paving certain new streets under the powers
given by the 105th Section of the Metropolis
Management Amendment Act, 1855, and the 77th
Section of the Metropolis Management Amendment
