The paving and kerbing of the footway on the left-hand side of the Deptford
Lower-road, from China Hall-gate to Plough-road, stands over until the Main Drainage
Works now in progress are completed.
The owner of the thirteen new houses, Trafalgar-terrace, Clarence-street, having
applied to have the footway in front thereof paved with York paving and kerb, the
Vestry did the work upon the applicant paying one moiety of the cost thereof,
viz., £22.
The Vestry having deemed it expedient that Cross-street, Deptford-road, should be
properly made up, paved, and drained, they caused an Estimate of the cost thereof to
be made by their Surveyors, amounting to £234 3s. 0d., and it was determined that,
upon the owners of the property paying three-fourths of the cost, the Vestry would
contribute the remaining one-fourth, and carry out the work; and arrangements are
now being made with the owners to pay their proportion by instalments, and, so soon
as such arrangements are completed, the works will be proceeded with.
The Vestry have made up, paved, and drained Wellington-street, Albion-street, at
a cost of £79 19s. 1d., the owners having paid three-fourths of the amount, the Vestry
contributing the remaining one-fourth. The following being a detailed statement
thereof.
