defective condition, was relaid. The new sewer has

Paddenswick Road sewer.
STORM RELIEF SEWER.
The construction of the low level storm relief sewer

scheme includes a new sewer, 4 feet in diameter, along
Devonport Road, connecting the Acton branch sewer
in Uxbridge Road to the new relief sewer in Goldhawk
Road.
The sewer is being constructed in open cutting.
The invert is of blue brick, the remainder being of 9-in.
gault wire-cut bricks surrounded with 6-in. Portland
cement concrete of square section.
The commencement of the sewer is in Stamford
Brook Road, near St. Mary's Church, and the route
followed is along Goldhawk Road to The Grove, along
this latter thoroughfare to Richford Street, along Richford
Street under the London and South Western Railway,
and also the Hammersmith and City Railway, then along
Batoum Gardens to Shepherd's Bush Road, through
Shepherd's Bush Road to the north side of Brook Green,
along Brook Green to Hammersmith Road, Hammersmith
