And that the Alexandra Tavern, with the house adjoining???
in Penge, be drained into the Beckenham Sewer.
A few of the items in the estimate of probable cost—fo???
instance, the amount for repairs of the boundary culvert O ???
X—are put in without sufficient data for accuracy. If ???
should be found that in building houses, &c., over the???
boundary culvert, which is smaller than it should be, th???
waterway has been materially interfered with, considerable
additional cost may be incurred. Generally I may observe
that in adapting old sewers and waterways, as in remodelling
an old house, it is difficult to define the extent of the new
work to be done until it is in progress.
It will probably be advisable for the Lewisham Board to
continue the storm-water conduits in the Dulwich Road to
the London Brighton and South Coast Railway Bridge, and
to construct a storm-water culvert from Woodbine Grove???
along the Maple Road, and thence to the Green Lane ditch;
but these are matters for the consideration of the Lewisham
Board.
I have indicated, generally, in the Schedule, how I think
the cost of the proposed works should be divided between the
two Boards. Having carefully weighed the advantages given
by each Board to the other, by the existing and proposed
arrangements, I think that in order to balance the account a
sum of about £125 should be paid by the Lewisham Board
towards the cost of the Kent House Lane Sewer ; but it will i
be better to defer the exact settlement until arrangements are
made for carrying out the works, and their cost is more
accurately ascertained,
In conclusion, I may mention that the main questions
raised for the consideration of the two Boards are—
1. Whether the Works recommended and included in
the Schedule shall, subject to modification, be
carried out.
How far the separation of the Surface Water from
the Sewage should be carried, either by the construction
of storm-water conduits, in localities already
