it is composed of new work; there are a few places which must before
long be repaved, such as—
High Street, Shoreditch (from Bateman's Row to the Boundary).
Old Street Road (from Kingsland Road to Hoxton Street).
Bitfield Street (the whole of).
And Hoxton Street (portions of).
The footways are mostly in an unsatisfactory and dilapidated condition,
and the repairs during the year having been very slight, I fear
that unless some of the worst places are repaved, and that very shortly,
they will become dangerous. The course I would recommend would bo,
to repave those footways in the thoroughfares of larger traffic with new
stone, using such of the old material as is fit for places of less traffic.
The condition of the sewerage is very satisfactory, the sewers being
comparatively free from deposit, and there are but few places without
that most necessary of sanitary requirements.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
G. C. PERRETT,
Surveyor.
Town Hall,
June, 1871.
