SEWERS, &c.
The necessity for some accommodation near Bethnal
Green Junction has long been apparent, but there did
not appear to be any site on the public highways
suitable for the purpose. Negotiations were commenced
with the Engineer of the Great Eastern Railway
Company with a view of acquiring a site on the vacant
land adjoining the Railway in Tapp Street opposite the
entrance to the Railway Station, with the result that
the Company agreed to let to the Vestry sufficient
land for the purpose at an annual rent of 5s. (as
mentioned in the last year's report). The Vestry
then authorised the erection of a urinal to accommodate
six persons, and this was done; the drainage,
brickwork, &c., being carried out by the Vestry's
workmen, and the fittings by Messrs. Jennings, of
Lambeth; the total cost being under £100. This
accommodation has proved of great benefit to the
neighbourhood, the Railway arches being much cleaner
than hitherto.

to the urinals during tho year, was £134 8s.
