Resolved—That upon the builder submitting an amended plan of the drainage he be

Nolan Place.
Notice having been received for the re-drainage of the houses in Nolan Place which did
not comply with the Vestry's regulations, and it being found upon examination that the only
sewers near the property consisted of an 18 inch brick drain, crossing Hatteraick Street, and
running between Adam Street and Adam's Gardens, and an old brick sewer crossing Tunnel
Square and discharging into Swan Lane.
The Vestry Resolved—That a 9 inch pipe be constructed down the centre of Nolan
Place and Hatteraick Street, and that the houses on either side be required to drain into it
in accordance with the Vestry's regulations.
Renforth Street and Mary Street.
On 11th June, 1895, the General Purposes and Works Committee reported with
reference to the drainage of stables corner of Renforth Street and Mary Street, that it
appeared from the report of the Surveyor that, in the notice to build, the drainage was shown
to come out into Renforth Street, in which at present there is no sewer, the nearest sewer
being an old 18 inch brick culvert running along the bottom of this land against Messrs.
Brandram's fence into Neptune Street, which takes the drainage of the East side of Renforth
Street, and that the present end of the sewer in Renforth Street is opposite Risdon Street,
to extend which to take the drainage in question in 12 inch pipes would cost about £50, and
that the pipe should be continued to the end of the street to intercept the old culvert, and a
branch taken along Mary Street to pick up the pipe that drains the houses upon the West
side of Renforth Street and Mary Street, which at present crosses Mary Street, thence
across the land into the old sewer at the back, and is at present full of silt, and broken in
several places, which would cost a further sum of about £15.
Resolved that the present sewer in Renforth Street be extended as far as Mary Street,
in 12 inch pipes, and that a 9 inch pipe sewer be constructed in Mary Street from the end
of the Proposed sewer in Renforth Street, so as to intercept the existing old pipe which at
present crosses Mary Street, and discharges into the back sewer against Messrs. Brandram's
fence, at an estimated cost of £70.
