Water Courses. During the first months of 1912 a small
sluggish watercourse forming part of the boundary between the Urban
Districts of Enfield and Edmonton has been covered in by a concrete
culvert from First Avenue to the east end of Alberta Road.
During the winter of 1912-13 the unemployed have been busily
engaged with the culverting in of Sadlers Mill Stream, from the weighbridge
house, Montagu Road, to Exeter Road in Bounces Road. This
will be a great improvement to the district and do away with the
nuisance which existed in Bounces Road in the form of the old open
ditch, which was a receptacle for rubbish and filth.
MARKET ON THE GREEN.
This matter has been, throughout the year, in a state of
suspended animation. In July the Engineer advised the Highways
Committee that all rubbish and garbage left on The Green by the costers
instead of lying about until Sunday morning, should be removed by a
special cart and man late on Saturday night. Entertaining costers
is evidently an expensive luxury for the ratepayers.
