SURVEYOR'S REPORT,
For the Year ending March 25th, 1860.
Gentlemen,
My Report of last year,was prefaced with
some remarks on. the proposed works of the Southern Main
Drainage, in which I gave a short description of the scheme,
as far as it affected this Parish ; and also explained the requirements
which it was designed to fulfil. And I stated that
a contract had been advertised for the Southern High Level
Sewer and its Effra Branch. I am now enabled to report
that one of these works is in course of execution in several
parts of this Parish, viz. —at Nunhead, at Dulwich, (where
the work is being tunnelled) and also at or near Cold Harbour
Lane,—a subsequent contract lately let, enbraces the continuation
of the above down to the outlet at Erith Marshes,
which works also are now in progress.
I also stated, that the contract for the Low Level Sewer had
not been advertised, neither am I at present, enabled to
inform the Vestry of any progress having been made towards
the execution of this work. I can, therefore, only reiterate the
hope which I then expressed, " that no unnecessary delay will
take place in putting this work into the hands of the
contractors," as it alone, can provide the necessary requirements
of Low Level Drainage for this Parish.
