The system of sewerage for Upminster and neighbourhood has
been satisfactorily completed. A system is now being constructed
for Harold Wood, and for the Village, and more populous parts of
Hornchurch Parish, and a system for Dagenham and Bcacontree
Heath is, I believe, now awaitiug the approval of the Local Government
Board. The New Isolation Hospital (situate between Romford

completed, and is to be opened next month.
