Blackfriars Road, Stamford Street, Charlotte Street, Great Charotte

properly coated with new broken Granite, and repaired where

The smaller streets in the District have been repaired as occasion

Holland Street; the other part northward with 552 feet super. of

carrie-way made good to the Trams, &c.
The ordinary general repairs of the foot and carriage-ways have
been executed throughout the District, as the preceding list will

The foot and carriage-ways have been materially interfered with

Works' progress with the new street,* and also by the works of
the Charing Cross Railway, (Mr. G. Wythes, the contractor, has
entered into an agreement to make good all foot and carriage-ways
disturbed by him to the satisfaction of the Board.)
The foot and carriage-way pavements have been re-laid and
made good after removals and alterations of Gas and Water Pipes.
