Palmer's
Road.
A new urinal for three persons has been erected at
Palmer's Road, the work being carried out by Messrs.
Jennings, of Lambeth.
Manholes.
With regard to the pipe sowers generally, it is very
desirable that the means of access for the purpose of
examination and cleansing should be largely increased
by the construction of suitable manholes. At present
there are numerous pipe sewers without any provision
for examination or cleansing, and it is impossible to
ascertain their condition until a stoppage occurs, and
then it is necessary to open up the roadway and clean
out the sewer at great expense and inconvenience.
Much of this might be obviated by the construction of
suitable manholes, and it would be true economy to do
this as quickly as possible.

applicants.
