SURVEYOR'S REPORT
OF WORKS EXECUTED,
FROM LADY-DAY, 1873, TO LADY-DAY, 1874.
Gentlemen,
The work carried out during the year has been very extensive,
although not large, if taken singly. The cleansing and repairing to
the different sewers has been a work of importance, and is likely to
involve considerable expenditure in the future. In a previous report
(1867-8), I drew attention to the imperfect construction of many of the
sewers, and the fears then expressed have been realized. I have
enumerated the places where the most important works have been carried
out to the various sewers:—
Bonner's lane
Royston street
West street, North street
Granby street
London street
Elizabeth street
St. Peter's street
Sheldon place
Pollard row
Gibraltar walk
Barnet street
Gardincrs road
South streot
William street
Thomas's passage
Felix street
