STREET GULLIES.
In this direction a great improvement has been made, 180 having
been fixed, many being new gullies provided in place of defective
gullies, the remainder being used in some of the streets where
sufficient gullies where not already provided. The streets, generally,
have been deficient in this respect, and a great improvement has been
made where the additional gullies have been fixed. It is also
intended to continue this work during the coming year.
During the year 23 public sewers have been cleansed, and during
the course of that work those sewers found suitable have been
repaired and modernised where possible.
A number of combined drains, some of them being of greater
extent than hitherto, have been relaid in various parts of the district.
This question has the appearance of becoming of greater trouble
every year.
Private drains have been cleared at the cost of the owners of the
property in 16 places.
New frontage drains have been constructed by your stair at the
cost of the frontager in the following places:—
