the Annual Reports of the Medical Officers of Health, information
of particular changes of condition that occur by the action of the
Local Authority, and one of the subject matters which is required
to be reported upon is the condition of sewer and house drains.
At the instigation of the Borough Surveyor the Works Committee
recommended the Council that a short length of sewer be constructed
in Benworth Street to connect with the sewer in Alfred
Street. The Borough Surveyor suggested this to afford a complete
scheme of drainage to the neighbourhood.
The Borough Surveyor submitted a plan for the provision of a
short length of sewer in Raleana Road to connect with the sewer
in Preston's Road. The Works Committee recommended the
Council to approve of the plan of the Borough Surveyor.
