ST. PETER'S SCHOOLS.
In May the Education Department called upon the authorities of
St. Peter's Schools, Walworth, to reconstruct the drainage, and to
provide additional sanitary appliances for those schools. Some
little difficulty arose owing to the shallowness of the Vestry's brick
sewer at the back, which would have made good drainage almost
impossible. The authorities, therefore, decided to drain directly
into the sewer in Shaftesbury Street, although at some additional
cost; the work was carried out in a satisfactory manner. The
expense of the drain connection from the forecourt to the sewer,
together with that of covering the old sewer at the back with 12
inches of concrete, was borne by the Vestry.
