REPORT.
June, 1867.
Gentlemen,
It is with much pleasure that I again place
before you a statement of the various works carried
out in my department for the year ending March 25th:
Paving.
The quantity of 355,800 feet superficial of 2½ inch
paving have been laid during the past year 20,800
feet of which have been laid by Mr. Druitt under contract,
and 15,000 by your own workmen. A large
quantity has been used for paving the footways abutting
on the flank walls of houses, and is spread nearly equally
throughout every Ward in the Hamlet.
Park Road and Edinboro2 Road have also been
paved.
