60.— Underground Conveniences.—Several suggestions have
been brought forward for the construction of underground
conveniences, and plans were prepared for the construction of
such a building partly on the property of the South Eastern
Eailway Company at Plumstead Bridge, but the Company
declined to surrender the site, and that project fell through.
Fresh plans are now being prepared for a Convenience at the
junction of Walmer Road and High Street.
61. Chesnut Road Yard.—A water closet for the use of the
workmen has been erected here, and the old earth closet
removed. A ventilating shaft was also erected on the iron
shed, which helps to relieve the Chesnut Road Sewer.
62. Hanover Road Sinkage.—A serious sinkage took place
over the main sewer at the north end of Hanover Road, and
was made good and reported on at the time.

having obtained another appointment, quitted the service of
