"Water Supply.
Samples of the Water supplied by the Water Companies have
been frequently analysed, and the examinations show that it has
been of good quality. I have the satisfaction to report that the
Lambeth Company have served notices on the owners and
occupiers for a constant supply within the following area, viz.:—
The London Road, from the Elephant and Castle northwards to
St. George's Circus; thence along Westminster Bridge Road, as
far as Waterloo Road, to the River Thames; the Thames eastward
as far as Southwark Bridge Road; thence southwards along
Southwark Bridge Road as far as Great Suffolk Street; both
sides of Great Suffolk Street, and eastwards to Blackman Street
and Newington Causeway.
Gas Supply.
I beg to report that the results of the examinations of Gas during
the past year have been satisfactory. The average of all the
observations gave an illuminating power equal to 16 sperm
candles. The proportion of Ammonia has never reached the
prescribed quantity of 2.5 grains for 100 cubic feet of Gas.
Sulphuretted Hydrogen was never detected.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
ROBERT BIANCHI.
