"Working Classes Act, 1890, and this scheme, and subject
"to such modifications therein or additions thereto as may

"(6. The following street shall bo stopped up and
"form part of the Improvement area—viz., the whole of
"Nightingale Street."
The last section of the Order, abolishing Nightingale
Street, will render alterations of the existing Nightingale
Street sewer a necessity; the sewer not only receives Nightingale
Street sewage, but also that of the Board School and
some six houses in Capland Street. If the sewer should
have to be removed, provision must be made by the Local
Authority for the drainage of the houses now draining into
the sewer and not included in the scheme.
