have been set back at a cost of £43 1 s. 3d., inclusive of the £20 paid
to the leaseholder. This setting back of the footway has added a piece
of ground to the carriageway, and enabled a much safer and more convenient
corner to be made for vehicular traffic. The ground added
to the carriageway at the south-east and south-west corners of Thornhill
Road has been paved with granite setts, and the levels of the
existing carriageway between No. 6 and Richmond Road much improved
at a total cost of £30 0s. 6d.

and a portion of the footway has been added to the carriageway and
paved with granite setts at a cost of £11 18s. 4d. The two new
