TREES CHARING CROSS ROAD AND CHURCHYARD.
Three new trees have been planted in the Churchyard, to replace
dead ones, at a cost of £5 8s.
The whole of the trees have also had attention; re-tied where
necessary, and fresh soil supplied, at a further cost of £8 11s. 3d.
The trees have been watered in the very dry weather.
1 he iron guards to all these trees, also the seats in Trafalgar
Square belonging to the Vestry, have been painted, at a cost of
£14 5s. 0d.
In consequence of the unsafe condition of several of the grating's
around the trees in the Charing Cross Road, 13 of them have had
proper rebated stone curbs fixed to form a perfectly secure bed for
the gratings. All these gratings should be provided with these
curbs.
HYDE PARK CORNER ROADS.
The Vestry's share for the past year of the cost of maintaining
the above roads (viz.: one-third of the total cost as provided in the
Hyde Park Maintenance Act, 1887), amounts to £536 4s. 6d.
These roads are about to be repaved with wood, instead of
macadam. The annual cost of maintenance will, therefore, be considerably
reduced, the macadamized roadway being very costly to
maintain.
