BOROUGH WORKS.

OVZRSZER'3 REPORT

The following report I• y the Lor ough Overseer is to be presented a next Monday’s meeting of llie B‘ i ough Council

I beg to report on the programme of works for the past month as under:—The scarifying, remetalling. blinding, and rolling of Broadway North, from Hogan Street to i’euibroke Road, has been completed. Julie'. Street from the goods-m.cd to bentou has been scarified and rolled down. Fenton Street from its junction with Juliet to Cordelia Sreet has been similarly treated. Side formation ii Miranda Street between Regan Street and Fenton Street has been completed. Culverts have been inserted if the following places; —Lnder footpati Cloton Road near school, near Mi Rowson’s Orlando Street, near Mi Lyons, Hamlet Street South and Taranaki Hardware Co., Miranda Street. Footpaths in Regan Street Fast hav been regravelled where necessary. A footpath has been formed and gravell ed in Miranda Street North, from Regan Street to Mr Beckett’s residence. The formation of Brecon Road footpath is now in hand. Metal patching has been done on various streets it the borough. Watortables and edge: of footpaths in Broadway, from Marnick Road to Flint Road, and Rage Street from Miranda Street to Hamlet Street have been cleaned out. Owing to the sides of Broadway South, between Celia and Romeo Streets, in places being lower than the watertables I had a number of yards of clay deposited on the west side. I would ask permission to complete this work as in my opinion it is a necessary one. Messrs. Chard Bros, are progressing with their gravelling contract. i would suggest that the owner ol Section 261, Juliet Street, be compelled to connect with the borough sower. I would also suggest that no permits be issued for the removal of stone or shingle from the Baton river from date, because there is more than room for every yard of it on the streets in the Borough. ,
