[n Harrow Road, between Westbourne Park
Crescent and Cottage Road, the Vestry has recently
constructed a brick sewer, four hundred and twentyone
feet in length, and of the capacity of 3' 9" x 2' 6",
at a cost of £726 3s. 6d., for the drainage from houses
in late Westbourne Villas, which had hitherto drained
into large brick cesspools in the gardens at the rear of
the houses, and having combined outlets into an
18" brick sewer under the permanent way of the
Great Western Railway. The gulley drains from
roadwa)r, which were connected with the cesspools,
are now drained into the new sewer. The sewer is
