In consequence of several other applications to the Vestry to make up, pave,
and drain new streets in this Parish, the following Resolutions as to the distribution
of the cost of such works were made upon the recommendation of the Committee
to whom the whole matter was referred.
Resolved,—That the same scale as laid down by the Vestry in January, 1858,
with respect to the cost of sewage works to be borne by the owners of property,
be applied to the cost of making up, paving, and draining streets previous to their
being taken under the jurisdiction of the Vestry, viz.:—
1st. That the Vestry make up, pave, and drain all such streets as have been
rated for twenty-one years and upwards, upon receiving previously from
the owners of property within such streets one-half of the cost thereof.
2nd. That the Vestry make up, pave, and drain all such streets as have been
rated less than twenty-one years but more than fourteen years, upon
receiving previously from the owners of property within such streets
two-thirds of the cost thereof.
3rd. That the Vestry make up, pave, and drain all such streets as have been
rated less than 14 years and above 7 years, upon receiving previously
from the owners of property within such streets three-fourths of the cost
thereof.
4th. That the Vestry make up, pave, and drain all such streets as have been
rated less than 7 years, upon receiving previously from the owners of
property within such streets the whole cost thereof.
