SEWERS.
The length of main sewers in the parish, that is sewers belonging
to the Metropolitan Board, is 3½ miles.
The length of sewers belonging to the Vestry is 4 miles of bricks,
and 25 miles, 1,240 yards, of pipe sewers.
In my last year's report I printed on page 103 a full report on
the sewers of Fulham, to which I beg to refer those interested,
and I especially desire to call attention to Nos. 5, 6, 7, and 8 recommendations
in reference to the ventilation of sewers. In all cases, where
possible, I have fixed new ventilating manhole covers (weight 5 cwt. 2 qrs.
131bs) in place of the non-ventilating covers formerly used.

Four different sums, amounting to £16 11s., have been received to
cover cost of superintending these sewers.
In October, 1887, instructions were given to relay 340 feet run of
the 12in. pipe Sewer in the Campana and Favart Roads, at a cost of
£65 16s. 6d., and in February, 1888, a length of Sewer 132 feet long
was laid at a cost of £25 in the Moore Park and the Maxwell Roads to
join two dead ends of Sewers and to assist the ventilation.
SEWERS APPROVED BY THE METROPOLITAN BOARD.
Plans have also been approved by the Metropolitan Board and the
Vestrv for Sewers in the following Streets:—
