In addition to the foregoing details, I beg to
state that 163 complaints on subjects connected
with the Sewers Department have been received ;
they had reference to stoppages in Sewers, Gullies,
Drains, &c.
With respect to stoppages in Drains leading
into Brick Sewers, they have either been removed
from the inside of the Sewer, or the complainant
has been informed of the exact spot where the
stoppage has occurred; and thus expense and
annoyance in stripping the Drain has been obviated.
This information is furnished free of expense to
every Rate-payer.
It has been my uniform practice to give immediate
attention to such matters ; and I have
succeeded either in removing the cause of complaint,
or have been enabled to suggest a remedy
for the evils brought under my consideration.
