THE PAVING OF YARDS.
During the year 42 yards have been paved in connection with
dwelling-houses, in 28 cases the yards being paved in accordance
with notices served, the remaining 14 being reinstatements where
existing paving was not satisfactory.
In most cases the yards were paved from the rear wall of the
main building around the back addition to the water-closet or party
fence; generally carried out in six inches of Portland Cement Concrete,
worked up to a good impervious surface with an efficient fall in
every way to a properly trapped gully connected to the drainage
system. The use of Portland Cement Concrete is always recommended
in preference to the use of tar-paving, as the latter class of
work is cheap and unsatisfactory, necessitating constant repairs and
renewal, whilst the former makes a sound permanent paving.
