the widening of Cambridge Road in 1904 when some
portion of the Infirmary grounds was acquired and
included in the widening. The man-hole as a result
of this was left under the public carriage way being
quite inaccessible. The cover was removed at that
time and nothing remained to mark the site. Upon
this fact being brought to the notice of the Board
a request was made that your Committee should
undertake the abolition of the old man-hole and
and interceptor and construct anew within the
Infirmary grounds. The work was eventually undertaken
together with the subsequent Hushing and
examination of the whole of the drainage system
including the rectification of any defects found.
On the completion of these works the following
report was forwarded to the Clerk to the Guardians.
