(b) Partial reconstruction of drainage.
1. Church (half of system relaid).
2. Two gully branches of 12 inch sewer at north side
of Blocks C. and D. (few joints cemented).
3. Matron's House, Old Schools (two soil pipes
constructed, and the branch drains connected therewith
temporarily relaid).
In view of the large expense involved in connection with the
above (stated to be £12,982 12s. Id.), it was decided not to
interfere, for the present, with the following systems of drainage
(the Guardians taking all responsibility):—
(а) Relief Station, and the main drain north of the same
(taking also the Receiving Wards) ;
(б) Lodge by the Old Schools ;
(c) 12-in. sewer on the north side of Blocks C and D,
receiving by means of 2 gullies the surface drainage of
the path only (all joints of sewer being open, as also
of the 2 gully branches, except about 6 cemented joints
in each case as mentioned above);
(d) Sewer to north of Old Schools ;
(e) Main sewer running across part of grounds from Crown
Lane to Elder Road (London County Council Sewer);
(f) Certain disused drains and sewers (if any).
Having regard to the large amount of supervisory work thrown
upon the Sanitary Inspector (Mr. James Barfoot), the Guardians
voted him an honorarium of £25.
