Combined Drainage.
Five systems of combined drainage for which the
Council was liable, were reconstructed at a cost of
£55 6s., by the Council's contractor. The sum of
£67 l1s. was also paid to the owners of 11 houses in
respect of work carried out by them in compliance with
notices served by the Council in connection with house
drains, which were sewers as defined by the Metropolis
Local Management Act, 1855.
Water Supply in Tenement Houses.
An additional water supply on the upper floors was
required and provided in 43 tenement houses under the
provisions of Section 78 of the London County Council
(General Powers) Act, 1907, by which a sufficient supply
of water can be required on each separately occupied
floor of a tenement house.

of, inhabited house duty in respect of 484 tenements, of
which 344 were granted, 66 were given after certain
specified works had been completed, and 94 were
