As regards the general condition of the parish, I beg to state that
the carriageway paving is in very good order, as the greater portion of
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)
And, Hoxton Street (portions of.)
