SEWERS DEPARTMENT.
HATFIELD STREET.
The brick sewer, 250 feet in length, between Stamford
Street and Upper Ground Street, has been thoroughly cleansed
and repaired ; two brick manholes with proper covers and
means of access to the sewer have been constructed. The
sewer has been left in good order and well ventilated, and
works much better than it did before these alterations weie
made.
