ordered a Statutory notice to be served. The
necessary work was then carried out.
The cowsheds at the Tolworth Court Farm
have been entirely re-drained, and the floor of the
dairy has been re-paved. As the Council's sewer
does not extend to this extreme end of the district,
the drainage was arranged to discharge into a septic
tank, and then passed over a bacteria filter bed,
finally discharging into a tributary of the Hogg's
Mill Stream.
Legal Proceedings.
In consequence of a number of complaints
having been received from residents and occupiers
of premises in Ewell Road of the insanitary condition
of the road at the rear of Nos. 2 to 12 and
other premises, notices were served upon the owners
to pave and make up the same. As the notices
were not complied with, summonses were taken out
against the owners to enforce compliance.
At the hearing none of the owners appeared,
but all wrote and admitted the insanitary condition
ot the roadway and their liability to do the work.
The magistrates then made an order for the work
to be done within one month, and for payment of
costs, amounting in all to £10 10s. The order was
not complied with, and the work was carried out by
the Council under a specification and plan prepared
by your Sanitary Inspector at a cost of £286.
