29
street was 667 supl. yards, and that portion paved with
pitching about 197 yards supl. The area of new footway
paved with 2½ inch york stone was 577 feet supl., and 407
feet lineal of new and re-dressed curb was fixed.
GAMBIA STREET.
Thi3 street has been entirely repaved; the carriageway
with 1½ inch compressed asphalte on 6 inches Portland
cement concrete and the footways relaid and repaired with a
portion of new 2½ inch York stone in the worst parts. The
area of the carriageway paved was 787 yards supl., and the
footway paving relaid comprised 3500 feet supl., of which 724
feet was new stone.
JOHN STREET WEST.
The old wood paving in this street which had become completely
rotten in consequence of the small amount of traffic
which ran over same, has been replaced with 1½ inch compressed
rock asphalte on a foundation of 6 inches Portland
cement concrete, the area paved being 275 yards supl.
SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES.
BURROWS MEWS.
This thoroughfare has been paved with 4 inch by 4 inch
Enderby granite cubes on a 6 inch Portland cement concrete
foundation. I prepared a plan of same and apportioned the
cost of the work to the various owners of the property fronting
on to the Mews. The work was executed under the estimated
amount, and the small balance proportionately returned. The
carriageway in front of the Union offices was, at the Guardians
request, and by consent of the Board paved with Jarrah wood
blocks and the extra cost upon the stone borne by the
Guardians.
SOUTHWARK BRIDGE ROAD.
A portion of the carriageway on the west side of this road
from the end of the Fire Brigade Station to the Welsh Chapel,
had become so badly worn that I found it necessary to recommend
the Committee to repave it this year. This was done,
and 220 yards supl. of Jarrah wood paving laid on the existing
concrete foundation at a cost of £140.
