On 19th January, 1897. the Sanitary Committee reported with reference to a lettter from
Dr. W. R. Millar on behalf of the owner of 14 & 16 Swan Lane and 60 & 62 Aiusty
Street. relative to the drainage thereto, Stating that upon the work being carried out to the
drainage of 60 Ainsty Street, it was found to be combined with 18 Swan Lane, and should
therefore have been repaired by the Parish; that upon opening up the drains of 14 & 16
Swan Lane. No. 14 was found to be combined with other property and was therefore a sewer,
but that the drainage of No. 16 was confined to that house, and asking the Vestry to do the
work required to No. 14 as well as No. 16; that the Vestry possessed no records showing
combined drainage referred to, the connections of 18 Swan Lane with 60 Ainsty Street,
and other property with 11 Swan Lane having been apparently surreptitiously made.
Resolved —Upon the recommendation of the Committee—That the drainage work to
Nos. 14 & 16 Swan Lane be earned out at the exponas of the Vestry.
With the view of preventing disputes as to the repairs of private drains constructed
before the operation of the Metropolis Local Management Act, 1855, the Vestry on 1st
September, 1896,
Resolved- That the Surveyor be authorised to obtain the services of a draughtsman or
other competent person for the purpose of making notes and sketches of all plans of
drainage in the possession of the London County Council relating to the pariah of
Rotherhithe at a salary not exceeding £2 10s. per week for a period of 2 month.
