DRAINAGE, MUSWELL HILL.
No settlement of the vexed question of drainage
of the outlying portion of the Parish at Muswel
Hill has been arrived at. The houses situate in
Muswell Avenue, north of Alexandra Park Road,
are drained into cesspools, and under the Public
Health Act, 1891, the duty of emptying the cesspools
devolves upon the Vestry. The cost of
emptying the various cesspools was £35 10s.
I append statement showing the cost of the
principal paving and other works executed.
Abstract of principal Paving and other works
executed during the year 1893-4, and the cost
thereof.
