SEWER WORKS.
The Board has caused to be taken up and relaid during the past year
sewers in Union Buildings, Leather Lane, and in Boswell Court, New
North Street.
At the request of Messrs. Reid & Co., who undertook to pay the whole
of the cost involved, the Board gave consent to the sewers in Half Moon
Court, Crown Court, and Union Buildings, being diverted, so as to admit
of the site formerly known as the Dray Yard in Portpool Lane being
utilized for the erection of warehouses thereon.
The works involved, which were of a somewhat complicated and difficult
character, have been successfully carried out by the contractors employed
by Messrs. Reid & Co.
The Board also caused the diversion of the sewer in Queen Square
Place, and has had the old and dilapidated brick sewer, which formerly
received the drainage of the houses in this place, broken up, and a glazed
stoneware pipe sewer substituted in its place.
Notices were served upon the whole of the occupiers of the houses
draining into this sewer to remodel their house drains and take advantage
of the new and improved outlet which had been provided.
