(2.) That the Tender of Messrs. W. Knight & Co. for the supply of 2000 feet of 3 in.
hard tooled paving, not less than 2 feet either way, at 72s. 3d. per 100 feet superficial, be
accepted.
Plough Road.
On 16th March, l897, the General Purposes and Works Committee reported having
considered the following report of the Surveyor relative to the footway on the north side of
Plough Road:-
"I have to report that the gravel footway along the north side of Plough Road requires
repaiirng and the kerb requires relaying for a portion of the length. As there is a considerable
amount of traffic along this road I should be glad if the Vestry would consider the question of
paving this footway with something of a more permanent character then gravel. The present
footway is part flagging and part gravel, and it is very difficult to keep it in goal condition,
especially at the junction of the two classes of material."
Resolved—upon the recommendation of the Committee—That the whole of the footway
on the north side of Plough Road, from William Street to Plough Bridge, at present only
partly flagged be flagged with York stone, the existing flags being used as far as possible,
and the kerb reset, and that the cost of flagging that portion of the footway at present
unflagged he apportioned upon the owners on both sides of the road, under the provisions of
that Metropolis Management Act. 1862, Amendment Act, 1890.
Providence Row.
It will be remembered that that Vestry Resolved to pave Providence Row at an estimated
cost of £80.
A better was subsequently received from Messrs. Rose, Smith & Co. claiming the same
as private property and notifying their intention of erecting gates in front of the existing
long-and upon their producing evidence of the roadway in question having been leasses to
Messrs, Taylor, Walker & Co. by Mrs. Carr-Gomm, and of the ??? having given a right
of ??? the rodway to Messrs. Rose, Smith & Co.,
