Description

Unique IDA-00294527SeriesLetters Received [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 29th March 1865 and 31st March 1865Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionLetter: John Roseby, 781 George St Stone & Marble Works, requesting a slight lowering of the kerb & gutter at the gateway to his business as his land falls away steeply and the kerb height causes even greater problems for the stone monuments displayed in his yard and these are too cumbersome to raise individually to prevent flooding, etc. (Note: 29/3/65 Can Mr Bell arrange this matter:JW. The lowing the roadway one foot at this place will spoil the whole road of the work - and if it were done merely for the accommodation of this stoneyard it would be very absurd - because the stoneyard is sure to be abolished shortly, after the improvement is effected, in consequence of the enhanced value of the frontages for shops - Every objection was met in your presence yesterday with regard to the houses without lowering the roadway: EB; 31/3/65. It appears to me that a few iron plates laid down in this gateway or a couple of logs of timber would facilitate the traffic through this gateway - especially if pitched between for horses to travel upon - If Mr Roseby were to make such a roadway and the Council were disposed to contribut 15 or 20£ towards it the burden would not fall so heavy upon him: EB; 31/3/65.
