Drainage.
Ainsty Street and Seth Street.
On 31st May, 1895, the General Purposes and Works Committee reported as a matter
of urgency the receipt by the Surveyor of a notice to redrain Nos. 63 to 73, Ainsty Street
into the front sewer in accordance with the Vestry's regulations, and who reports that as
the Vestry's sewer in the street does not reach so far as this property it would be necessary,
if the property was required to redrain as shown in the notice, to extend the existing 12 inch
pipe sewer as far as Seth Street, a distance of about 10 yards, and to construct about 20
yards of 9 inch pipe sewer in Seth Street, and that the Owner of the property having
commenced the internal portion of the work, it is necessary that the outside work be
immediately put in hand, and the Vestry
Resolved—That the suggestion of the Surveyor be carried out at an estimated cost of
£50.
Chilton Street.
Attention having been drawn to the defective state of the drainage at the rear of 08 and
70, Chilton Street, and the same having been inspected by the Sanitary Committee, the
Vestry, on 2nd July, 1895, instructed the Surveyor to construct a 9 inch pipe extending along
the backs of the houses in Chilton Street to Yeoman Place in lieu of the existing old sewer.
Neptune Court.
Notice having been received for the erection of four more houses in Neptune Court,
extending from the previous four to Risdon Street, the Sanitary Committee inspected
the spot, and found that the washhouses at the rear of the buildings were proposed to bo
built over a sewer belonging to the Vestry approved by the late Metropolitan Board of
Works in 185G, and consisting of a 9 inch pipe six feet deep, when it was
Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Committee, that to enable the washhouse
to be erected as shown, the sewer be taken up and relaid under the water closets at the rear
of the said waslihouses, upon condition that the builder bears half the estimated cost
thereof, amounting to £15. This the builder agreed to do upon condition that he would be
allowed to drain his houses into it instead of going out into the front.
