COMBINED DRAINAGE—After investigation of defective
house drains and the service of notices for remedying the
same, the owners in many instances claimed the drain to
be a sewer repairable by the local authority. Owing to the fact
that your Council possess an elaborate record of orders for combined
drainage, a large majority of these claims could not be
substantiated after examination of the plans. In a few cases, however,
your Council were less fortunate, and orders were made for
the repair of the combined drainage in the following instances:
95 to 127, Brightfield Road; 38 and 40, and 44 to 52, Ladywell
Road; 1, 2 and 3, Prospect Place; 1 to 19, Railway Terrace;
1 to 7, Jerrard Street; 31 to 45, Porson Street; 79 to 85,
Tyrwhitt Road and 42, Ringstead Road.
