Notice having been received for the erection and drainage of 8 houses, on the site of Nos. 1
to 19, Eisdon Street, it was resolved that a length of 12-inch pipe be laid from the sewer in
Neptune Street for the drainage thereof, and be laid to a level to meet future requirements ; that
combined drainage be not allowed for more than two adjoining houses, that the necessary
gulleys be formed, and that the rainwater pipes be not allowed to drain over the pavement.
Subsequently an amended plan was submitted, providing for the erection of seven houses only
in lieu of eight. A plan and section for this sewer were prepared by the Surveyor of Sewers and

gulleys and ventilator, was £75.
