The ground landlord has since applied to have this sewer further extended to the
cross ditch by the mill, and the Vestry have consented thereto upon his advancing the
requisite funds for carrying the same out, subject to the return of the proportion to be
borne by the Vestry, so soon as the money can be raised from the rate.
The Commercial Dock Company requiring the site of the high level sewer near the
Pageants, Rotherhithe-street, for their new entrance, which they proposed taking under
the power contained in their Act of Parliament, the Vestry, upon the report of their
Surveyor, accepted the sum of £10 in compensation for such sewer.
The Vestry in October last, by the invitation of the Metropolitan Board of Works,
visited the Main Drainage Works in progress at Barking, Woolwich, and Deptford, and
express their satisfaction with the way in which they had been so far carried out.
