The above is inclusive of 790 feet of open Sewer either
arched over or abandoned.
No. 42 New Gullies have been constructed and trapped.
34 Old Gullies trapped and repaired.

MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS.
As regards the above I have but to report the continued
execution of the Southern High Level Sewers through the
parish of Camberwell, and which works it may be anticipated
will be completed by about the end of the year, but whether
the Vestry will be permitted to communicate any of the present
Local Sewers therewith, until the Southern Pumping Station
at or near Erith is completed, is at the present moment uncertain,
and (from information I gain from J. W. Bazalgette, Esq.,
Engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works) is dependant
upon the powers that Board may possess to give relief to the
Upper Districts by means of a temporary overflow at Deptford
Creek; failing this, none of the present High Level Drainage
of this Parish can be diverted from its accustomed channel,
nor any very increased amount of new High Level Sewerage
works be entertained until the permanent outfall is obtained.
