FLOODING OF BASEMENTS.
The flooding of basements during storms owing to the inadequacy of
the sewers to carry off the surface water and sewage, has been a grave
menace to the health of the Borough during the year.
The following reports give the history of this flooding.
The Public Health Committee also convened a conference of the
Metropolitan Boroughs, at which complaints were made of this serious
pollution of the subsoil of their districts.
This was followed by the appearance of a deputation from this
conference at the London County Council's offices, Spring Gardens.
