RE-PAVING OF COVENTRY-STREET, PICCADILLY.
—The Board of Works of the parish of St. Jame's,
Westminster, intends to take up the granite pavement in
Coventry-street and Piccadilly, and to have the whole line
of thoroughfare macadamised. The inhabitants of the
neighbourhood several months ago memoralised the Board
to that effect, alleging that in Regent-street the roadway
there was much approved of in consequence of so little noise
being caused by the traffic. A contract has been taken for
the execution of the work, which is to be completed by
Easter ; and the contractor has taken it for seven years,
and to be allowed £1,400 per annum, for scavenging and
watering, and the old stones to be used for conversion.
