To cover the cost of the 405 connections to the buildings set forth
above, fifty four different sums, amounting to £593 4s. 2d., have been
passed over to the Accountant through this Department.
For unstopping drains &c., six different sums amounting to £21 12s. 7d.
have been handed to the Accountant.
I again beg to call the attention of the Vestry to the necessity for
appointing sufficient and special Inspectors to superintend the laying
the drainage of private property.
The matter ought either to be placed in the hands of an officer who
should have no other duties and so be responsible, or additional Sanitary
Inspectors might be appointed, each undertaking the supervision of the
drainage in his District.
To properly supervise the work every pipe should be laid under the
eye of an Inspector.
I also call attention to the increased number of buildings in this
District as shewn by the above table.
STEEET CLEANSING.
