purchase of the house at the corner of Swan Lane; the kerb and footway upon the south-side
have been set back and re-laid so as to provide for a double line of vehicular traffic, and

cost of the improvement, exclusive of the purchase of the necessary property, but including
£65 6s. for the building of a gable wall to No. 77, Swan Lane, amounts to £225 2s. 4d.
