In addition to the mutual accommodation involved in the
above works,
I advise that two houses in Laurie Park Road, Beckenham,
which are supposed to drain into a Lewisham Sewer, be
allowed to continue to do so.
That, if required, the house lately occupied by Mr. Covell,
in Kent House Lane, near the boundary between Beckenham
and Lewisham, be drained into the Lewisham Sewer.
