Premises
drained and
connected to
the Main
Sewer.
NEW MALDEN.
Two notices were served to reconstruct drainage of
two "houses in Acacia Grove and connect the same with
the main sewer. These premises were drained by means
of cesspools, which have now been cleansed and filled in
with dry earth.
Cesspool.
Burden's Cottages, Kingston Road. The drains of
these cottages were connected with the sewer some years
ago, but the cesspool which was formerly used for the
drainage of these premises was never emptied and
cleansed, and so became a nuisance. The cesspool has
now been emptied, cleansed and filled in.

relaid.
Notices were served in respect of the defective drainage
of the following places, and all the drains were taken up
and re-laid, viz., 1, Wellington Villas, Burlington Road;
Coombefields, Maiden Road; 1, Beaconsfield Villas,
Kingston Road; 1, Acacia Grove; 9, 10, 11, St. John's
Road; Maiden College; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, Maskell's
Cottages, Kingston Road. The combined drain at the
rear of Maskell's Cottages which takes the drainage of
all these houses was found to be defective. This has
now been relaid by the Council.

which were choked in Queen's Road, Roberts Road,
Lime Cottages, Kingston Road; and Cleveland Road.
