blomfield road sewer.
Early in the course of the year an application was made by
Mr. Saunders for permission to construct a 12 inch pipe sewer
in continuation of the existing sewer in this road, but the Metropolitan
Board refused to sanction anything less than a 3 ft.
by 2 ft. brick sewer. Mr. Saunders then drew the attention of
the Metropolitan Board to the fact that the sewer in the road
had not been constructed by the landowners at the depth and
level, as shewn upon the plan sanctioned by the said Board in
1864. After some correspondence the Metropolitan Board
called upon this Board to alter and reconstruct the sewer in the
manner and at the levels shown upon the plan sanctioned in
1864. A long correspondence ensued, the Board pointing out
to the Metropolitan Board that at the time the works were

the departure from the approved levels in consequence of the
great pressure of water rendering it exceedingly dangerous and
difficult to carry out the plan, and this Board submitted to the
Metropolitan Board two alternative schemes for dealing with
the drainage of the road, either of which schemes would have
provided a perfectly efficient and sufficient drainage without
incurring the heavy cost of taking up and relaying the sewers.
The Metropolitan Board, however, insisted upon a strict
compliance with the order of 1864, and have commenced proceedings
against this Board to enforce their demands.

Walham Green, to Stamford Street, providing an efficient
outlet for the sewerage of this line of road and the lateral
streets.
