SEWERS.
In the Parish of Clapham 310 feet lineal of new
4 feet 6 inch by 3 feet brick sewer (including 16 feet
lineal of bell-mouth) have been constructed in Kendoa
Road, and connected to the London County Council's
sewer in Bedford Road. This work was done in order
that an old sewer running through private land between
High Street and Bedford Road might be abolished and
the land laid out for building purposes. Five tenders
were invited for the construction of the sewer, the lowest
amounting to £170. The Board, however, decided
to execute the work without the intervention of a
contractor. The total cost was £464, towards which
Mr. Gregory Foster, the owner of the land, contributed
£300. Nine gullies have been constructed, and 5 surface
ventilators have been closed and iron pipe ventilators
erected instead thereof, at a cost of £93. In addition,
£92 has been expended in the repair of gullies and
sewers in various parts of the parish. In new roads,
1,644 feet lineal of new pipe sewers, 7 manholes,
6 surface ventilators, 1 iron pipe ventilator, and 40 new
gullies have been constructed at the cost of the owners
of adjoining property.
In the Parish of Putney 633 feet of new 12 inch
pipe sewer, with 2 manholes and 8 gullies in connection
therewith, have been constructed in a new road
(a continuation of St. John's Road) by the owner of
the property there, under the superintendence of the
Board. Five new gullies have been constructed by
the Board, at a cost of £21 19s. 2d., and 5 gullies
re-constructed at a cost of £12 0s. 4d.; 2 new manholes
have also been constructed at a cost of £13 9s. 6d.;
and various alterations and repairs to sewers, manholes,
and gullies carried out at a cost of £33 10s. 6d. The
gullies, numbering 878, have been regularly cleansed,
