westward as far as Red Post Hill (a portion of the Dulwich
College Estate) the requirements of which will be further
augmented when this land is utilized for building purposes.
In order to meet the necessities, not only of the
present application, but for the future requirements of the
locality in question, I recommend that
The 12-in. pipe sewer in Constance Road, be taken up,
and a 2-ft. barrel substituted, being a length of about
500-ft., the approximate cost of which I estimate at £500.
I suggest that the above cost be borne jointly by the
Board of Guardians and the Vestry.
In regard to the drainage of the Workhouse Buildings,
the Architect (Mr. Aldwinkle) proposes to lay down a
system of drainage (to be approved by the Medical Officer
to the Vestry), connecting the same with the new outlet
sewer now proposed by a 15-inch pipe drain, at the junction
of the workhouse property and Constance Road.
As it is desired by the Board of Guardians to deviate
the present line of watercourse running through the
property, and which, as before stated, conveys the surface
drainage, &c., of an extensive area as far as Red Post
Hill, I recommend that the 2-ft. barrel sewer aforesaid be
continued from Constance Road through the workhouse
premises, as shewn on the accompanying plan from A to B.
This latter work being rendered necessary by diverting
the aforesaid watercourse will, of course, be executed
