In Harrow Road, opposite St. James' Terrace,
a length of 86 feet of 15 pipe Sewer has been laid
to admit the drainage from Jewish Schools recently
erected there.
In accordance with plans shewn on Building
Notices, 9" & 6" Stoneware pipes have been laid down
for the drainage of the 208 New Buildings beforementioned,
and in every case the outlets of such
drains have been trapped at Sewers with Block traps,
at the owners' expense.
The Vestry's Contractor has re-constructed and
repaired Eighty-four drains of various capacities,
under the Public Roads and footways, from Houses
and other Buildings, at the expense of the Applicants.
In addition to the above, Three hundred and
eighty distinct works have been carried out, consisting
of repairs to Sewers, constructing Galley drains, side
entrances and air openings, re-constructing Gulleys
and fixing traps, at a cost amounting to £2,077 17s. 6d.,
which sum includes £632 3s. 2d., received from
Builders and others, for laying drains, fixing traps,
and constructing Gulleys in New Streets.
One hundred and seventy-three subjects of complaint
have been received, chiefly as to stoppages in
Houses and Gulley drains, the cause of offensive
effluvia from drains, and other matters connected
therewith, which received prompt attention.
