Also, that on the Middle and High Levels, additional
Sewers of Interception must be provided in order to prevent
the over gorging of the present sewers, and upon which the
efficient working of the local sewerage of this, and other
Parishes connected therewith, are dependent.
I am assured by the London County Council's Engineer
that these suggested requirements and kindred matters,
necessary to effect the object in view, will be the subject of
the Joint Report of the Engineers appointed by the Council
for this purpose, and which report " may be shortly anticipated
to be placed before the London County Council for
consideration."
Until this report is presented, it is the Engineer's, and
also my own opinion that any suggestions as to Local
Works or alterations of the present system of sewers would
be premature, as, upon the proposed remedial works which
may be so reported, and eventually determined upon for
execution, will depend the utilizing of the same for
improvements, &c., in the district sewers in connection
therewith.
I await the promised report with much interest, and
shall give the same my earnest attention.

Surveyor to the Vestry.
