those sewers, about 830 feet of 15 inch pipes with manholes
and gullies, has been laid in Rosendale Road, by and
at the expense of the L. and N.W. Railway Company,
for the immediate purpose of draining their new coal
depot, and the road leading to it; and also for draining
the houses when built, upon the understanding that the
owners of property draining into it shall repay to the
Company their fair proportion of the cost of the construction.
About 600 feet of 6" and 400 feet of 4 pipes have been
laid along the ditch on the west side of Streatham
Common, at a cost of £34 10s. 4d., and the surface thus
gained has been added to the public pathway there.
Three additional sewer ventilating shafts have been
erected against the houses, Nos. 92, 95, and 109, Wellfield
Road, with the permission of the owners, at a cost
of £16 9s. 6d.
Thirty-four gullies, with 476 feet of 6" drains and four
ventilators have been provided and fixed in various roads,
and all the sewers, gullies, manholes, &c., have been
repaired, altered, cleansed, flushed, and disinfected at a
cost of £66 7s. 9d. for repairs and £327 0s. 1d. for
cleansing.
The London County Council have nearly completed
their 4' 0" × 2' 8" storm water sewer along Mitcham Lane,
about 2260 feet in length, from Thrale Road to the
"Wandle Branch" at Roe Bridge. This is calculated to
afford considerable relief from flooding to the inhabitants
of West Streatham, and to others along the vicinity of
the main sewers through Balham and Clapham.
