Sir,—I feel it my duty to transmit the enclosed report from the Superintendent B Division of Police, relative to the state of the carriage road leading to the New Chelsea Bridge.

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.
The Vestry Clerk, to A. Austin, Esq.
