lid. The pitching in Wardour Street has been replaced

Pall Mall, at a cost of £1,481 15s. 7d., and Wilkes's
“ Eureka" paving has been laid by way of experiment
in short lengths of foot-way in different parts of the
Parish.
The pitched pavement in the carriageway of Bury Street
was removed and replaced by a Macadam surface, at a cost of
£320 12s. 7d., and it is in contemplation to make a similar
alteration in some other streets. Several applications for
the substitution of a quieter or cleaner description of paving
than that at present existing were received, and each case
was carefully considered. In some instances, the Vestry were
able to make the desired change, in others a change will be
made when the road requires a thorough repair; other
applications have been deferred.
Particulars of the above-mentioned works, and of the
paving repairs carried out during the year, will be found
on pages 192 to 196.
