the parish boundary. The new refuges opposite Charles Street and
at the top of the Haymarket have also been constructed at the joint
expense of the the two Vestries. The roadways of Suffolk Place,
Jauies Street, and Panton Street, for a considerable length were
also taken up and rclaid at a lower level, thus giving an improved
gradient to the Haymarket.
The west footway in the repaved portion of Exeter Street has
been improved by being made up of an uniform width throughout.
A much needed improvement as regards the traffic in Long- Acre
has effected by the altered position of the refuge when repaving
the junction of this street with St. .Martin's Lane.
A portion of Little Cathorino Street being in the parish of St.
Paul, Covent Garden, the expense of repaving was apportioned
between the two parishes.
The repaving of the footway in Whitehall, from Craig's Court to
Scotland Yard, was to have been in York stone. The cross fall,
however, being so limited, it was thought preferable to repave with
aspbalte, as before.
