that the sewer might be diverted, a 12-in. pipe
sewer with two manholes was constructed from
where the sewer crossed Compton Passage and
connected with the existing sewer at the corner of
Allen Street and Berry Street; the drainage from
Messrs. Buteux's Foundry and adjoining premises
was also connected with the new sewer. The
Cannon Brewery Company agreed to pay half the
total cost of the works.
The occupier of 144, St. John Street having
complained of a brick barrel sewer passing under
his premises, the Yestry laid a 12-in. pipe sewer
from the sewer in St. John Street to the line
of frontage, and the occupier continued the pipes
through his premises.
A 12-in. pipe sewer, 120 feet in length, was laid
in Lloyds Row from the main line sewer in St.
John Street Road to the existing sewer opposite
No. 36, Lloyds Row, and a manhole constructed.
A portion of the old sewer passing at the rear of
the houses in Allen Street and Compton Street
having become useless owing to the drainage of the
premises being diverted, it was broken up and filled
in with rubbish.
A new 4-ft. by 2-ft. 6-in. sewer was constructed
in Woodbridge Street from Hayward's Place to
Aylesbury Street, and the sewer in Hayward's
Place was destroyed; this work was carried out
entirely at the expense of Messrs. Nicholson & Co.
