pipe sewer in the manner shown on the plan and section submitted, and further stating that
in the event of the Vestry agreeing to such proposal the Committee would be prepared to
recommend the Council to contribute the sum of £80 towards the cost of filling up the old
brick sewer.
Resolved That inasmuch as the Surveyor s estimate of the cost of reconstruction
amounts to £115 12s. 6d., the Clerk write in reply, requesting them to reconsider the matter
with a view to their paying the whole of the estimated cost of reconstruction.
On 24th March, 1896, the Vestry had before them a further letter from the Clerk of the
London County Council, stating that the Main Drainage Committee of the Council were
unable to depart from their previous decision as regards the reconstruction of the sewer in
Swan Lane, and asking to be informed whether the Vestry would now agree to the proposal
contained in his previous letter.
Resolved—That the Clerk write a further letter to the Council again drawing their
attention to the fact that the sewer in question is in a defective condition, and being entirely
under their jurisdiction they should pay for its reconstruction, and urging them to again take
the matter into their consideration ; but that in the event of the Council declining to depart
from their previous resolution, the Surveyor be instructed to at once proceed with the work
upon the terms of the Council's letter of 4th February, 1896.
The matter remained at this stage at the close of the year.
On 18th February, 1896, the Vestry had before them copy of a letter addressed by the
Vestry of St. Pancras to the London County Council as under

Pancras Road, N.W.,
17th January, 1896.
