The Local Government Board held an
Enquiry with respect to certain Permanent Works
to be carried out in the district, these principally
consisting in transferring existing gravelled footpaths
to paths paved with artificial stone with
gravelled margins, and after hearing the opposition,
sanctioned the loan.
A valuable clause of the Public Health Acts
Amendment Act, 1907, has made it possible to
obtain substantial repairs to undedicated streets
which are dangerous to pedestrians and vehicular
traffic. This clause has been put into force in the
case of Upper Marsh Lane and Minniedale with
marked improvement to the sanitary aspect of
this part of the district.
Three of the irrigation areas at the Tolworth
Sewage Farm have been trenched to a depth of
2 feet 6 inches, and a percolating filter has been
constructed 80 feet in diameter with a rotary distributor.
These have considerably improved the
character of the effluent, and no complaints have
been received from the Thames Conservancy since
these works have been carried out.
The number of new dwelling houses erected
during the year is 30. Surbiton, 11; Tolworth,
