COMBINED DRAINS OR SEWER WORK.
The number of drain-layers and labourers employed by the
department has varied during the year. The following return
shows the total expenditure in both labour and material, the
premises drained, and the cost of each job. The total expenditure
for the year amounts to £1,504 17s. 2d. From this gross total
must, however, be deducted the sum of £2 105., recovered from
owners of property for removing stoppages from drains, for which
this Authority was not liable, and the sum of £102 9s. 7d. for
re-laying and repairing the branch and other parts of drainage
works, for which the owners were rightly liable. Deducting these
two sums, which together amount to £ 104 19s. 7d., it will be seen
that the total cost to the ratepayers has been £ 1,399 17s. 7d.
