SEWERS.
In consequence of the insufficient sewer accommodation at the
south end of Pollard-row, about 150 ft. of 12 in. pipe sewer has been
laid from the main sewer in Bethnal Green-road, at a sufficient depth
to drain the property contiguous to it.
About 50 ft of 6 in. pipe has been laid from the urinal in Cabbagecourt
to the sewer in Brick-lane.
A 12 in. pipe sewer has been laid in Cheshire-street, between
White-street and Menotti-street, a distance of about 140 ft.
Fifty-seven connections have been made with the Parish sewers to
drain private property.
During the year 361 loads of sewage deposit have been cleared from
the various sewers and carted away.
The cost of water for flushing sewers amounts to £79 13s.
The pipe sewers enumerated below have been cleansed and
repaired where found necessary.
