composed of new work, but there are portions which very shortly must
be relaid and partly provided with new stone, such as—
High Street, Shoreditch.
Old Street Road (from Kingsland Road to Hoxton Street.)
And Pitfield Street.
The footways are not so satisfactory, the wear and tear in many
streets being very considerable, the repairs have been slight, and it will
be necessary before long to expend a considerable amount in repaving.
The most economical course would be to repave those in the main
thoroughfares with new stone, using such of the old material as is fit for
places of lesser importance.
The condition of the Sewerage is good, the sewers being comparatively
free from deposit, and there are but few places without drainage.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
G. C. PERRETT,
Surveyor.
