Council have now completed the Wandle branch sewer,
which extends as far as Norbury Bridge, Lower Streatham.
The old sewers in Martindale Road, Kenilford

the whole of them have been re-constructed. The work
was done by contract at a cost of £380 4s. 10d. All the
sewers, gullies, manholes. &c., have been cleansed, flushed and
disinfected, and, where necessary, altered and repaired, at
a cost of £653 8s. 5d. for cleansing, and £399 3s. 10d.
for repairs.

sanitary internal fittings by Messrs. H. Doulton & Co., at
a contract price of £87. The convenience which was
taken down at Streatham Hill, nearly opposite the station,
