Surveyor's Annual Report,
1895-6.
To the Chairman and Members of the Vestry,—
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit my Annual Report upon the work of my
Department for the year ending 25th March, 1896.
Licenses.
Thirty-four Licenses were granted to erect scaffolds and hoardings on the public
footpaths and carriageways, for new buildings, alterations, or repairs, a decrease of twenty
when compared with the number granted last year.
Roads and Footways.
No addition has been made to the lengths of roads in the Parish which amount, as
reported last year, to 14½ miles.
In addition to the general repairs, a large quantity of special works have been executed
as enumerated below:—
Wyndham Road.—The Apportionments being paid, the footway on the west-side
was laid with Victoria stone at the owners expense, the kerb redressed and relaid, and a new
three-course channel provided at the expense of the Vestry. The actual cost of the paving
works paid for by the abutting owners upon each side of the.street, was £55 19s., or
£l 12s. 6d. less than the estimated cost.
