Lunae, decimo tertio die Novembris, 1671. By the Commissioners for Sewers, Pavements, etc. in LONDON,  
IT is Ordered, That the Clerk do forthwith send to the Deputies and Common Council-Men of the several Wards, a Note of the Names of the Pavier or Paviers designed for each Ward; and because the present Season of the Year, being sometimes frosty, and at other times foul and dirty, is judged inconvenient for a through Paving of such Streets and Common Passages, as are needful to be altered, paved, and amended; (the High-streets being designed to be paved Causeway or round fashion) the Commissioners do hereby desire the said Deputies and Common Council-Men to employ and set to work the said Paviers in amending such Pavements in each of their respective Precincts, which they shall observe or have notice, are much broken and are needful and of necessity at to be amended for the present: And the said Pavier or Paviers giving timely notice to any the Officers attending the Commissioners, such Stones and Gravel shall be sent as shall be requisite and needful for the same Works: And the Commissioners do further Order, that upon Certificate of the said Deputy or Common Council-Man of any Precinct, under his or their Hand or Hands of such Workmanship performed, the same shall be forthwith paid (according to the Rates agreed on by the Commissioners and the Fellowship of Paviers) out of the Moneys now rating or collecting within this City and Liberties, touching this Affair.  
And the Commissioners do desire the Deputies and Common Council-Men in whose Ward any Grate or Grates, belonging to any Common Drein or Sewer, is or are standing, to return to the Commissioners the Name of a fit Person for each Grate, with the Place of his Habitation, who will undertake constantly to look after and cleanse the same Grate and Cess-pools thereto belonging, and to certify what they adjudge fit to be allowed him yearly out of the Chamber of London. And for that Falls or Cess-pools are wanting to some of the said Grates, whereby the said Grates and Sewers are presently choked with Soil, to very great Charge and other Inconveniences; the Commissioners do again earnestly entreat the said Deputies and Common Council-Men to cause the same forthwith to be made by the Advice of the Surveyors of New Buildings or one of them, and to certify the Charge thereof to the Commissioners, and thereupon the same shall be immediately paid.  
And lastly, because some Questions have arisen by several Persons touching the present Car for Pavements, Whether the same be for a Year, or otherwise, or intended to be a Rule for a standing and yearly Payment. The Commissioners do desire the said Deputies and Common Council-Men to send for their Scavengers or Collectors, and to declare to them, that so they may acquaint the Persons dissatisfied, That the said present Car was rated, and is to be paid into the Chamber of London, as by the Act of Parliament is directed, for putting in good order and repair all the Pavements in the Streets and Common Passages complained of to be greatly broken and defective and to be employed to no other use than such as shall relate to Paving, without making the same any Rule for a yearly or other certain Payment for the future, but that in all After-assessments for this Affair, such prudent Care and Respect shall be taken and had as (if possible) will tend to General Satisfaction.
