During the hot weather the gullies were well
sprinkled with carbolic powder, and occasionally
flushed out by means of a hose attached to water
van.
The pipe sewers in the Parish were flushed by
water supplied by the New River Company from
time to time, 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.
The amount paid for water for flushing the pipe
sewers was £16 19s. 10d.
The Skinners' Company, at their own expense,
with the permission of the Vestry, constructed a
12-inch pipe sewer from the head of brick sewer
opposite No. 34, Skinner Street to No. 32 Skinner
Street.
COURT FLUSHING.
The courts and alleys in the Parish were washed
and sprinkled with carbolic acid from August 25th
to September 22nd. Owing to the wet weather it
was not considered necessary to commence the
flushing earlier.
HOUSE DRAINAGE.
The total number of premises drained were 197
(including 2 new houses in the outlying portion
of the Parish at Muswell Hill), the details of which
drainage is shown upon 141 plans prepared for that
purpose, and deposited in the Surveyor's office.
