instead of according to the actual Parish Boundary, viz.:—
Regent Street, Piccadilly, Burlington Gardens, St. James's
Street, and Park Place. No payment is made by either
Vestry to the other under this Order, the exchange of area
being regarded as an equivalent.
An order was made by the Metropolitan Board of Works
on the 21st December, 1883, placing so much of the carriageway
of Wardour Street as lies south of Meard's Court under
the exclusive management of the Vestry for the purposes of
cleansing and maintenance, and the remainder of the street
under the exclusive management, for the same purposes, of
the Strand District Board.
An arrangement made some years since with the Vestry
of St.Martin-in-the-Fields for the apportionment of Coventry
Street as regards the cleansing and paving, in consequence
of the boundary line being somewhat irregular, is still in
force.
PAVING AND DRAINAGE WORKS.
Most of the paving and drainage works during the past
year consisted of maintenance and repair, and details of the
work will be found in the Surveyor's Report, commencing
on page 147.
The area of wood pavement was slightly extended and a
small additional quantity of asphalte laid during the year.
The tender of the Improved Wood Pavement Company was
accepted for the former, and the tender of the French
Asphalte Company for the latter.
