concrete. When this sewer is completed the full advantage of
the new Stanstead-road Sewer will be obtained.
An inspection of the tables of Sewers, Surface Water Drains
and House Drainage given in this Report and sanctioned by the
Board during the year, will show the large amount of Sewer work,
etc., carried out, or in hand at the present time, and points to the
extent the building land is being developed in the District.
IMPROVEMENTS, FRONTAGE LINES, &c.
The two road improvements on the south west side of Hithergreen-lane,
from Ennersdale-road to near Beacon-road, and at the
junction of George and Hither-green-lanes, mentioned in my
last year's Report, were completed during the year.
The widening of Catford and Ladywell Bridges is not commenced
yet. The matter is still in the hands of the London
County Council. I shall be very glad to see these bridges widened.
The London County Council sent eighteen applications with
requests for suggestions, and the annexed table will show how
they were dealt with. The most important application was that
of Mr. E. H. Selby (Case 8290) to build shops in High-street,
Lewisham, and in George-lane.
I append to this Report a return of the mileage of the streets
and roads at present maintained by the Board, and a list of the
Automatic Flushing Tanks at present at work in the District, also
a list of New Streets sanctioned during the year.
One hundred and sixty drawings and tracings were made in my
office, including three sets of drawings for a Coroner's Court and
Mortuary. Many estimates were prepared, and specifications,
reports and letters written also a number of statutory notices were
served.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient humble servant,
JOHN CARLINE, C.E.,
Mem. San. Inst., &c.,
Surveyor to the Board
The Hoard of Works for the
Lewisham District.
