give an opportunity of carrying out the long projected overflow for
flood water from the Ravensbonrne at this point. The remaining
portion of the ground will be used as a much wanted Depot for
road material, &c. At the time of writing this report I am
engaged in making drawings of the overflow, cottage for caretaker,
and other matters connected with it. The recently constructed
storm water relief works in Penge have done good service during
the year. I am now preparing reports, estimates, and plans for
similar surface water outlets in Stanstead Road.
The. roadway at the Crooked Billet p.h., in Penge, was
widened, and an improvement was made in the road and footpath
at the corner of Beckenham Road and Kent House Road.
An improvement was also made in the road and footway near the
Duke of Cambridge p.h., Lewisham, during the construction of
the South Eastern Metropolitan Tramways.
There were 20 communications received from the Superintending
Architect of the County Council requesting suggestions
on frontage lines, under the 75th and other sections of the
Metropolis Local Management Act. I reported on them, and the
annexed table will show the result of such applications.
Eighty statutory notices were sent to builders and others for
commencing to build before giving notice. Several summonses
were taken out and convictions obtained for this and other offences.
Some trees were planted along the public roads, and additional
name plates put up.
During the year one hundred and forty-nine drawings and
tracings were made in my office, and a large number of estimates,
specifications, and reports prepared, and many letters written.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN CARLINE, C.E.,
Mem. San. Inst.,
Surveyor to the Board.
The Board of Works for the
Lewisham District.
