Sixty-five private drains were let off by the Sewermen,
at the expense of the owners of the premises
upon which the drains were stopped, for which the
sum of £6 10s. was received by the Vestry.
Complaint was made of the stench arising from the
ventilator of the sewer in Eagle Court, and the ventilator
was consequently closed.
One new manhole was built in Compton Street, and
one in Green Terrace.
The whole of the pipe sewers in the Parish were
flushed by water supplied by the New Eiver Company,
and the brick sewers, where practicable, by water
from the main sewers being turned through them by
means of flushing gates fixed in the sewers for that
purpose.
About 50 feet of 3 ft. 9 in. by 2 ft. 6 in. brick sewer
was constructed in Allen Street at the expense of
Messrs. Carter, Paterson & Co.
