joining premises. The dust has been removed and repairs
necessary to abate the nuisance completed.
Cottage Road, Nos. 11 and 12. Two most offensive
gullies opposite have been cleansed.
Allingham Street, No. 8. Paving in the back yard out
of repair, and the drains under the house in a defective state.
The drains have been cleansed and repaired, the paving
made complete, and the gully trapped.
Queen Street, Pimlico, No. 35. Drainage in a defective
state. The drains have been cleansed and repaired into the
sewer in Queen Street, and the inlets trapped.
Princes Row, No. 11. Offensive state of the drains,
which communicated with an old sewer between the above
place and Queen Street. It became necessary to open the
sewer, which was completely filled. This case was referred
to the Surveyor.
Gillingham Street, No. 12. Defective drainage. Drains
cleansed and repaired into the sewer, and dust-pit covered.
Mr. Bull's Cow-yard and Private House, Commercial Road
South. Both these places, as well as Stone-house, with the
adjoining houses, were flooded with sewage water. The premises
have been liable to similar inundations for several years,
owing to the basements being below the level of the backwater
in the Commercial Road sewer. This water gained
admission into the basements of the houses whenever anything
prevented the flap from being closed. The Surveyor
has introduced an additional flap to intercept any back-current,
in case one should not act properly, and the result at present
is satisfactory.
Ranelagh Grove, Nos. 17 and 18. Bad smell from the
drains, which are in defective state; common privies in the
yards, and the dust-pits uncovered. New water-closets have
been erected with cisterns over them, and the ash-pits covered.
