DRAINAGE OF NEW BUILDINGS & RECONSTRUCTION OF DRAINAGE
During the year 100 applications for approval of drainage
works were received and approved. Of this number 18 cases were for
the re-building of premises following demolition by enemy action.
In 34- cases applications were in respect of the reconstruction of the
whole or part of the drainage system; and in the remaining 58 cases
the applications were in respect of the erection of new buildings or
additions to existing buildings. Plans submitted for the carrying out
of new drainage work included the provision of new housing accommodation
as follows
Sulivan Court. Hurlinghams
10 Blocks - 249 flats by the Borough Council.
Edith Villa3„ North End Roads
2 Blocks - 60 flats by the London County Council.
Work began on both these projects during the year, and in
October the first two blocks at Sulivan Court, comprising 24 flats,
were officially opened by the Rt. Hon. Herbert Morrison, M.P. A
special feature of these blocks is that a system of sanitary plumbing,
known as the "single pipe system" was adopted. The details of
the installation was worked out by the Sanitary Inspector in charge
