In the same document it was recorded that the following roads had been
long since abandoned.
Larnaca to Mari via Zigi.
Larnaca to Famagusta via Ormidhia.
Kythrea-Tricomo Road with the exception of 7 miles which had been constructed
during the year under review.
Peristerona (or Astromeriti) to Lefka via Elaea.
There were a number of extraordinary works done on several of the roads
the cost of which was included in the sums spent upon or classified as maintenance.
The expenditure on existing roads was £5,184 9 2 including £293 0 8
contributed by the Agricultural Bank, the cost of maintenance being therefore
£11 17 5 per mile.
The expenditure on new roads was £2,852 4 6 including £81 17 0 contributed
by the Agricultural Bank, the cost of construction being therefore £137 9 1 per
mile.
There was however no established system which governed either the
maintenance or the construction of roads, and there is no reason to believe that
the work done in connection with the former was anything more than superficial
repairs, instance the fact that no consolidation was effected in the case of newly
spread metal.
