In the most modern drainage works such storm over-flows
are constructed, and whoever advised one in this position
did a wise thing.
As for the diversion of the storm overflow into the Southern
Outfall Sewer, I do not agree that the idea sprung from the
Medical Officer. It originated from the Works Department in
connection with a scheme being entered into by the Vestry
and the South Eastern Railway Company for the construction
of a bridge and roadway.
As regards the various level ditches, the Parish ones are
weeded, mudded, and kept clean, so that a circulation in such
flat levels can be continuously going on.
Ventilation of Sewers (Paragraph 43).
I am sorry the Medical Officer has said so much on this.
The scheme has only lately been reported on by me and is yet
in its infancy, but is being rapidly and beneficially extended.
Mortuary (Paragraph 46).
Plans are prepared and the Vestry are waiting for new road
and sewer, the construction of which, hinges on the bridge
about to be constructed by the South Eastern Railway
Company.
House Inspection, Drainage, &c. (Paragraph 56).
I consider it very injudicious that Mabyn and Hartville
Roads should be singled out as being two of the poorest streets
in the Parish.
The main drainage for these roads I consider good.
