The above amount includes the sum of £108 10s. Id. the annual
cost of maintenance of King William Street and Northumberland
A venae, which are repairable under Contract with the Improved
Wood Pavement Company. The maintenance term for King William
Street however, expired in November, 1891, having- been in
operation for 15 years. The annual amount for repairs in this
street will in consequence be considerably reduced, for the future.
It is not advisable to enter into contracts for the annual maintenance
of wood pavements, as the work including renewals can be
done more economically by our own men, and the work is moreover
under the direct control of the Vestry.
The footway in Great Newport Street repairable by this Parish
has had new karbs, and the flagging has been relaid throughout.
The footway on the Fast side of Trafalgar Square has also been
taken up and relaid.
An iron channel pipe in Turner's Court has been taken away and
asphaltc substituted therefore.
New refuges have been constructed in St. Martin's Place upon the
crossing from Duncaunon Street to the National Gallery, and in
Northumberland Avenue, opposite the Avenue Theatre.
