Paving.
Ainsty Street.
On 16th March. 1897, the General Purposes and Works Committee reported having
considered the following report of the Surveyor relative to the roadway, Ainsty Street:-
I have to ask the Vestry to refer to the Works Committee the roadway in Ainsty Street,
between Albion Street and the Schools. It at present requires considerable repairs, and should
either be tar macadamised or pitched with shallow setts. If macadamised with granite, I
should not be able to use the steam roller, owing to the close proximity to the surface of the
gas and water pipes and services.
Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Committee, that the roadway be tar
macadamised at an estimated cost of £180.
