I therefore suggest that the several Reports here referred
to, aided by the Ordnance Survey Maps containing
the relative Surface Levels of the Locality, supply sufficient
data for the Council, to enable it to entertain the subject in
its broad and general necessity, without awaiting minor
details.
I may inform the Committee that copies of these
Reports were forwarded by me to the late Engineer (Sir
J. W. Bazalgette, C.B.), and they have also been incorporated
in the Vestry's Annual Report, 1888-9, just issued. (See
pages 77 to 84.) And
Your Medical Officer, Dr. Bristowe, has also at page
105 and 106 of the same Report, inferentially referred to
the question of "the adequate disposal of Sewage at the
Outlets."
I suggest that a copy of the aforesaid Annual Report
be supplied to the Council with the foregoing Report, which
I now present for your consideration.
J. C. REYNOLDS,
Surveyor.
Vestry Hall, Camberwell,
September 24th, 1889.
This Report was presented to the Vestry with the
following recommendat ion of your Committee, and agreed to.
