PRIVATE DRAINAGE CONNECTIONS.
The following private connections have been made to the
public sewers:—
Size of pipe 6 inches 32
The amount deposited for the execution of these works
was £224 19s. 2d.
URINALS.
Since the abolition of the urinal near the triangle, Union
Street, in consequence of the South Eastern Railway Company's
extension works, many complaints were received of want of
accommodation in the neighbourhood. A new six-stall slate
urinal has now been erected in Southwark Street at the junction
with Southwark Bridge Road, on the west side. The urinal is
fitted with patent brown glazed radial stalls with brown glazed
linings and automatic flushing cisterns, and lighted inside with
a special lamp. A new refuge has also been formed, and is
lighted by two incandescent gas lamps.
RIDLER PLACE.
The urinal which formerly stood at the corner of the above
place and Holland Street has now been abolished.
UNDERGROUND LAVATORIES.
The underground lavatories continue to work satisfactorily.
On Jubilee day the top of Lavatory No. 1 was hoarded in
and used as an Ambulance Station, the joists underneath being
well shored up for the occasion.
CONCRETE FLUSHING TANKS.
