(Note: Ackd personally: JB. For City Surveyor's report: HJD;26/5/93. This is a letter from Mr Robert Saunders and dated 25th May ulto: requesting that hard sandstone flagging be used for paving the footways round the new Belmore Markets similar to that in front of the Benevolent Asylum, and Pemmell's Stores, and to be tar coated. Attached is a report by the Inspector of Pavements in which he gives the preference for standstone compared with Caithness. Considering the use and nature of traffic & treatment which these footways will be subjected to I am inclined to recommend that the footways be paved with sheet asphalt laid upon a foundation of concrete in accordance with specification etc. adopted for last year's contract, and if the Patent Asphaltum Company will undertake the work at last year's rates the cost would not exceed five hundred and thirty pounds (£530). Sandstone wd cost to 750: RWR; 6/6/93; followed by report dated 30/5/93 from Superintendent of Footways on the unsatisfacory situation re tarpaving over stone. I think best best sandstone had better be put down: WPM) LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
