And the Works in progress when the last Report was made from Walham
Green to Stamford Bridge have been completed; sundry improvements
made to paths in Dawes Lane, King's Road, and other places with old
Boulder Stones and Kerbing; and several road crossings have been laid.
Your Board intimated last year their intention to thoroughly investigate
the question of the drainage of the district at the earliest possible period.
They have now to state that having instructed their Surveyor, he ha
presented to them an elaborate Report, accompanied by plans and section
for the construction of sewers in the following places;—viz:
Hammtrsmith.—Wood Lane, Brook Green Lane, Brook Green and Masboro'
Koad, Stamford Brook Diversion, New Road, West of Albion Road,
New Road, East of Albion Road, Bradmore, King Street, West of Cambridge
Road, King Street, East of Cambridge Road, Waterloo Street, Beavor Lane,
King Street East, and High Road, Brook Green Branch, Brook Green
Place, and Fulham Road, at the estimated cost of £27,248, 16s.
Fulham.—Notth End Line, Sun Street, High Street, Parson's Green Lane,
Peterboro' Road, and King's Road, at the estimated cost of £12,152, 19s. ;
or a total for the District, of £39,401, 15s.
Your Board in the firm belief that a systematic plan of Sewerage
is absolutely required, and that the District will not rise in importance
as compared with others in the Metropolitan Area, unless such
plan be carried out, have therefore referred the Surveyor's Report
and Plans to the Chief Engineer of the Metropolitan Board, to ascertain if
such a mode of drainage can be adopted in connection with the Great
Metropolitan Main Drainage and Intercepting Scheme, with a view to
the further consideration of the matter so soon as Mr. Bazalgette's
opinion shall have been obtained.
With respect to the present Sanitary Condition of the District, they
beg to direct attention to the annexed Report of the Medical Officer of
Health. The following details will exhibit some portion of the work performed
by the Sanitary Committee.
