About 100 feet of 12-inch pipe-drain has been continued up half-way in the rear of the
new houses, Bristol-terrace, Rotherhithe New Road from the pipe sewer already laid, and 90
feet of 9-inch pipe executed for the remainder of the distance, the Vestry contributing 15
per cent. towards the cost thereof, and the owners of the houses bearing the residue of such
cost. The Vestry also agreed to bear the expense of one of the two man holes constructed
in the said pipe-drain, the cost of the other man hole having been paid by the owners.
An order has been made by the Vestiy that on the laying out of the new streets

the main sewer, Rotherhithe New Road.
