Surveyor's Annual Report. 31
for mating a total quantity of Asphalte laid in the Parish since 1882
by his Company of 19,960 square yards, including Carriageways
and Footways in 33 Streets. The work has been done to my
satisfaction.
The Vestry's workmen have repaved the Footways, Tower
Street, with new inch York Paving, the cost including material
being at the rate of 6/3½ per square yard.
The nuisance of the Borough Road Railway Bridge still
continues unabated, and I fear unless the Vestry adopt stringent
measures in the shape of legal proceedings against the Company,
no effort will be made by them to remedy the evil.
As directed by the Vestry I have prepared plans and return
as the Roads in the district, suggested to be taken as Main Roads,
by he London County Council; also the plans of Gun Street,
Facon Court, Wickham Gardens, part of King's Bench Walk,
as???sanitary areas, and detail plans and sections of the same.
I have prepared a report of the number of Footways and
C riageways in the Parish requiring repaving, a copy of which
has been sent to each member of the Roads Committee, but no
de???sion in the matter has yet been arrived at.
No car having been run over the tram lines, in the St.
Gorge's Road, for over twelve months, I should recommend the
Vestry to call upon the South London Tramway Company to
remove the tramrails and make good the paving; the same being
???any places sunken below the tramrails.
