"on record its surprise that notwithstanding the strong expression
"of opinion by the Main Drainage Committee of the London
"County Council and its responsible officers, and the repeated
"representations of Vestries and District Boards to the effect
"that the existing sewer accommodation of the Metropolis was
"entirely inadequate to carry out the work required of it—no
"attempt should have been made to abate the intolerable evil
"complained of; and further, that this Conference urges upon
"the Council the absolute necessity of their at once carrying out
"such works as may be necessary to remedy the above-mentioned
"state of things."
The representatives of the Borough at the London
County Council were requested to support the foregoing
resolution when the report of the Main
Drainage Committee shall be submitted to the
Council.
The Chairman (Mr. Churchwarden Williams, J.P.)
has authority to again summon the Conference for the
purpose of taking such steps as may be deemed
advisable for urging the Council to carry out in
sections the main drainage works recently considered
by them, in order that the scheme may be completed
at the earliest possible moment.
The works, sanitary and otherwise, carried out
during the year, appear in the Reports of the
respective Officers, hereunto annexed, together with
the Reports of the Cemetery and Baths Committees,
