The Urban District Council of Surbiton.
1910
Sanitary Certificates have been granted
under the Inland Revenue Act for the following
that have been converted into tenement houses:—
19, Claremont Gardens.
Hambledon and Hurley, Grove Road.
34 and 34a, St. Andrew's Square.
124, 126, 128, 130, 132 and 134 Douglas Road.
Sewerage Scheme.
The year that has passed will be a distinctive
one in the annals of Surbiton inasmuch as within
that period of time the practical assent of the
Local Government Board has been given to the
largest work and the most costly expenditure that
this governing authority has ever embarked upon,
viz., the sewerage of the entire district.
As this is a sanitary work of the highest importance,
I think it would be as well to give here a
brief sketch of the history of this sewerage scheme
in its entirety, and to recapitulate from its commencement
and from my previous reports the
sequence of events that have led up to the development
of this idea, so as to afford the residents of
Surbiton, new as well as old, an opportunity or
making themselves acquainted with its salient
features and of understanding the necessity for a
scheme of this magnitude.
