Within the last six months, a very large addition has been made to the sewers in the
district, viz.: in Church-street and King-street, in the Hamlet of Mile End New Town: in
Flower and Deans-treet, George-street, Thrawl-street, Upper and Lower Keate-street, Butlerstreet,
Palmer-street, Tilley-street, Tenter-street, Freeman-street, and Wilson's-plaee, in the
Parish of Spitalfields : in King-street and Queen-street Tower-hill, in the Parish of Aldgate.
All the houses, with two or three exceptions, in the above named streets are now drained into
the sewers. The landlords in the exceptional cases have been served with notices to fill up the
the cesspools, and connect the premises with the new sewers.
As the hot weather is approaching, it will now be more especially necessary for every
housekeeper to frequently examine and cleanse the water-butt or cistern which stores the
water for domestic use, as many cases of illness are caused by the use of impure water.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN LIDDLE.
