SEWERAGE.
During the year the most important work under this head was
the completion of the Friar Street scheme, and the following were
the streets in which the sewers were dealt with since March, 1899:—
Miniver street, Gun street (commenced last year), Tupman place,
Pocock street, Upper Green street, Wellington place, King's Bench
walk, Bean street, Hill street, and Green street.
Beyond the above works, the sewers in Nelson's court and
Stanford place have been relaid, and, in conjunction with the Lambeth
Vestry, portions of the boundary sewers behind the Waterloo road
end of Grey street, and between Bethlehem Hospital and Brook street,
have been abolished, and in each case a private drain has been constructed
in their stead.
On the Surveyor's recommendation manholes have been constructed
on the following sewers, which have now been placed in such
condition that they are now accessible for cleansing purposes without
excavation:—
Dodson street Valentine place Lant street
Grey street Webber row Collinson street
Barron's place Webber street
Searles Road, a new street, which has been laid out by Mr.
E. J. Dickins, the Agent to Lord Llangattock, on the land behind
the Paragon Public Gardens, has been made up by the Vestry's
employees, at the cost of the frontager, under notices served in
accordance with the requirements of the Metropolis Management
Acts.
The paving with asphalte of a portion of Caffrey Place and the
re-metalling of Cook's Buildings, has also been carried out at the
cost of the frontagers.
Five new sett crossings have been placed across the footways in
various parts, at the cost of the owners of the property.
