The Vestry on 16th June, 1896, Resolved take no further action in the matter,
and instructed the Surveyor to have removed the Vestry's lamp column, standing in the
roadway, when the gates should be fixed.
On 6th October, 1896, the Sanitary Committee reported that their attention had been
called to the bad condition of the private roadway by the "China Hall" p.h., Lower
Road.
The Surveyor was instructed to prepare an estimate for paving the roadway with
granite setts, utilising as many old setts as possible.
On 3rd November, 1896, the Surveyor reported that his estimate for paving the
roadway with redressed stones upon a bed of 6 inches of concrete, and extending the (flagged
footway along the "China Hall" p.h. frontage, amounted to £60, which he had apportioned
as under:—
Messrs. Taylor, Walker & Co. £25 4 0
„ Rose, Smith & Co. 34 16 0
£60 0 0
Resolved—That the same be approved,and that upon receipt of the money the work be
carried out
The owners did not pay the money, but subsequently carried out the work themselves.
Rotherhithe Street.
On 21st July, 1896, the General Purposes and Works Committee reported having
considered the following report of the Surveyor:—
"The paving, kerb and channel in front of the Metropolitan Asylums Board's Wharf,
Rotherhithe street, is in a bad condition, and now that the new fence wall is finished and the
boarding removed, I desire to know if the Vestry will do it. The existing kerb
is flat and much worn; channel, pebbes; and the footway consists of York flags, in places only
l-in. thick, purback pitchers and pebbles.
To repave it with Victoris stone, providing new kerb and 3.ourse granite channel, I
estimate would cost £75."
