I beg to report that that part of the carriage road leading to Chelsea
New Bridge which is within the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, is in a very
dirty state and full of ruts; it is very dangerous, and quite unfit for
public traffic. This road was formed by the Board of Works, and has not
yet been taken charge of by the parish of St. Luke. There has been some
correspondence between the parish and the Board, but nothing definite has
been come to.
(Signed) G. M. GIBBS,
Superintendent.

honor to lay before them your letter of the 6th instant.
Your letter of the 5th ultimo, was placed before the Vestry held on the

Purposes, by whom it is still under consideration.
