the demolition of the houses in Shelton Street, was filled
up and abandoned.
The old pipe sewer in New Turnstile was found to be
completely blocked up with solid matter, and had consequently
to be taken up and a new 18in. pipe sewer
laid, with brick flushing tank at its head, at a cost of
£123, the work being performed by the Board's own
workmen.
New manholes were constructed in connection with
the old Sewers in Ridgmount Gardens, Ridgmount Street,,
and Southampton Mews.
