which had an average width of 3 feet 8 inches and contained an area of
163 feet super, has been added to the footway and paved at a cost of
£6 0s. 3d.
Holloway Road.—North-cad side, between Seven Sisters Road and
Lister Mews.—The steep and dangerous tar paved margin of the footway
has been abolished by the formation of paved terraces, the paving of the
footway relaid and repaired, and the portion of the tar paved slopes
between the top terrace and the edge of the paving has been flagged^
thus materially increasing the width of the paved footway. An improved
curve has been made in the kerb at the corner of Seven Sisters Road
by the Nag's Head Public House by taking off a small portion of the
footway and adding it to the carriage- way. The total cost of these
works amounted to £835 0s. l0d.
Highbury Park.—Between No. 70 and No. 245.—The owners of the
North Holme and the South Holme estates, being desirous of laying out
their property for building purposes, have set back the boundary fence
abutting on the east side of this road, between the above mentioned
points, a distance varying from 50 to 65 feet from the west side of the
road; and the Vicar and Churchwardens of St. John's Church on the
opposite side of the road have also consented to the setting back of the
boundary fence of the church premises an average distance of 15 feet.
The whole of the ground outside the fences referred to has been given
up and added to the public way, making the road, which had formerly a
width of 28 and 35 feet, 62 feet wide. Paved footways and pitched
channels have been formed on both sides of the road, pitched crossings
laid over Northolme and Sotheby Roads, the carriageway made up and
the severe incline near the site formerly occupied by North Holme
lessened by taking about 2 feet off the crest of the hill. The total
cost of the works amounted to £967 12s. 9d.
Hillmarton Road.—North-east side, at the flank of the Holloway
Cattle P. II.—The kerb and footway paving have been reset to improved
levels in order to enable the new pitched channel being laid at a better
gradient for draining the road. The cost of the work amounted to
£10 0s. 11d.
