MUSWELL HILL.
The plans for several new roads at Muswell Hill
were passed, and a very large amount of building
operations have been carried on.
It is satisfactory to state that the sewers laid by
the Vestry are working admirably, nothing beyond
the periodical flushing having been done to them
throughout the year.
Permission was given to the Post Office telegraph
authorities to fix telegraph poles on the footway in
Colney Hatch Lane for the purpose of connecting
a fire alarm by Barnard Hill with the Fire Station.
After negotiations extending over several months
an agreement was entered into between the Vestry
and the Wood Green Urban District Council with
reference to the surface water of that portion of
Clerkenwell detached that drains into the Wood
Green surface water sewers.
The costs of constructing sewers in Colney
Hatch Lane, Muswell Avenue North, Barnard
Hill, and Birkbeck Road were apportioned upon
the various owners of the houses or land abutting
on such roads. A very large amount of correspondence
ensued, and a number of the owners
decided to test the question as to their liability.
These proceedings were pending at the date this
report closes.
