I CLERK'S REPORT.
Since my last Annual R.-port. dated the 24th June, 1871, the street
houses and prcilUMI in Holland Street, Blackfriars Road, have Nomenclature
been renumbered, and the thoroughfare formerly known by the
names of Park Street and New Park Street, has been incorporated
under the name of Park Street, and the numbering of the houses
B&C. revised and attend, pursuant to orders of the Metropolitan

in the year 1864, to pave the carriage way of Green W alk with
granite cubes, and the footways with York flags at then own
expense, prior to delivering up the Street for the use or the
public, but the Board preferring Asphalte, the Company consented
to put that down in lieu of stone, and the whole suiface is now
