Improvements in the Sewers and Street Gulleys,
as commenced by the Vestry in the year 1859, and
continued from time to time as circumstances required,
have been further carried out this year, as follows:—
The construction of one side entrance in
Leinster Gardens, affording ready means
of access to the Sewers in the immediate
neighbourhood.
The formation of 56 Air Openings in the
Man-holes over Sewers, with Cast Iron
Ventilating Grates fixed level with the
surface of the Carriage-ways; and many
of these Gratings being moveable are of
great service in saving of labour during
the Cleansing of the Sewers, as the workmen
are thereby enabled to remove the
heavy deposits by means of buckets to
the surface of the Roads.
The construction and re-construction of 191
Gulleys, and the repair of 112 others in
various Streets of the Parish.
