artificial stone paving has been used in the paths,
and in each of the latter two there is a margin at
the side for trees. In St. Matthew's Avenue and
Crane's Park Avenue tarred macadam was used
for the roadways, and it is found that this works
out almost as cheaply as ordinary flint roadway,
and will in all probability be used in future in all
the private street works. It is a much more sanitary
material for roadways and requires less
repair. Many of the owners of these two roads
raised objections to the proposed stone paving and
tarred macadam carriage-way, and the matter was
dealt with by the County Bench, who, after a long
hearing, confirmed the Surveyor's specification.
Preliminary notices have been served for Malvern
Road and Fire Bell Alley to be made up, both
of which were reported by the Medical Officer of
Health to be in an insanitary condition.
Several additional ventilating columns have
been put up to increase the ventilation of the
sewers.
A small portion of storm water relief drain
has been laid at Broomfield Road, Tolworth.
The lighting in Brighton Road and St. Mark's
Hill has been improved by attaching the latest
pattern of inverted burners to the iron standards
carrying the tramway overhead construction.
Trees have been planted in Lenelby Road,
