The Commissioners say in their annual re-
port Following the principles adopted as far
back Us 1878, the bulk of the annual appropria-
tions for pavements is applied to the replace
ment of the old wood pavemcnts, and the ex-
penditurc for that purpose during the past
fiscal year was S20S, ,511.36, the extent OF
pavements replaced being 93,037S7 square
| yards. The total amount replaced since the
work was commenced in 1873 is 49i i620.2i
square yards, at a cost of $9S9, ,5S413, being at
an average rate of 81 per square yard. Dur
ing the current fiscal year about 10000 yards
will be added, and at its close the amount re-
naming to be replaced will be about 100000
yards. The estimate for the year ending
June 30, 1884, herewith submitted, contem-
plates the replacement of 100000 square
