necessary for the better drainage of a Metropolitan parish,
which has contributed to the main drainage scheme, which in
this particular case is not effectual. I must also point out the
great evil that arises from the gas that germinates from the
quantity of sewage which is held back sometimes for hours
through the want of proper relief from the main sewers,
and until this defect is remedied, the great inconvenience
which we suffer, together with the danger of sewage percolating
and permeating the ground under and around the residences
in the district, will still exist.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
G. R. WHEELER, A.M.I.C.E.,
Surveyor to the Vestry.
