with sufficient inclinations and free outlets, render it better
provided with the means for good drainage than any other
part of the Parish. The contract sum for constructing this
Sewer is £4,877, the extras being only £48 10s. 7d.; additional
works were authorized by the Vestry, amounting to £69 13s.;
and connexions for Private Drainage, which were paid for by the
applicants, amounted to £371 2s. 2d.
A new Sewer has been constructed in Chester Street,
whereby the drainage of a large area into Kennington Lane
by a direct line has been diverted, instead of its former tor???ous
route by Kennington Cross; this has not only lessened
the distance to be travelled by the Sewage, but has relieved
the Junction at Kennington Cross from an accumulation of
???leposit.
In laying out the plans and sections of New Works,
he sizes have been arranged in proportion to the area to be
???rained; and while cost has not been spared to provide Sewers of
???ufficient capacity, economy has been studied, and care taken to
???avoid unnecessary outlay.
During the year, public advertisements have been issued
????or the construction of works, and the following contracts have
been entered into; viz:—
1st. With Mr. Thomas Ennor, for the General Works.
2nd. With Mr. William Dethick, for Sewer in Clapham Road.
3rd. With Mr. William Dethick, for Sewer in Chester Street and other
places.
4th. With Mr. Thomas Ennor, for Sewer in Stockwell Road and other
places.
