BOROUGH OF PADDINGTON.
700-ft., it was considered advisable to construct three
brick manholes, with covers thereto, which can be
opened for ventilating the sewer prior to the men
entering for cleansing purposes, and also to enable
them to get out in a more expeditious manner the
accumulated heavy deposits from the sewer to the
surface of roadway for carting away. Manholes have
also been constructed to sewer in Elnathan Mews, and
in Elgin Mews North at the West end of brick barrel
sewer. The total cost of constructing the side
entrance and manholes was £204 l1s. 2d.
Special Repairs to Old Sewers.
In the undermentioned streets further works have
been carried out in the repair and improvement of old
brick sewers in the Parish by the construction of new
stoneware inverts, with regulated and improved levels ;
also in narrowing the lower portions of side walls so
as to enable the flow of sewage to pass freely away.
