    \i. No. 50.] Metropolitan §s>eVoerg. Principal Office, Greek Street, June 2, 1849. SYDENHAM DRAINAGE, &c. REPORTS and ESTIMATES by Messrs DONALDSON & GOTTO, ASSISTANT SURVEYORS. Resolved—u That Mr Donaldson’s Report on Sydenham be referred back for the addition of the expense for the complete Sewerage and Drainage ol Sydenham, and for particulars as to the means of obtaining a supply of water for flushing; and that Mr Donaldson put himself in communication with some of the inhabitants of Sydenham.” No. 215. March 5,18' Works Co mittee. Resolved—“That Mr Gotto be associated with Mr Donaldson in the Report to be made on the Drainage of Sydenham.” No. 366 April 16,18 Works Co mittee. In obedience to these orders, we have surveyed and examined the hamlet of Sydenham in reference to house, land, and surface drainage, supply of water for keeping the drains cleansed, &c. Complete sewerage and drainage, to which our instructions refer, as they involve house drainage, as well as other matters consequent upon the same, and altogether constitute a much larger question than the examination of the open ditches of that neighbourhood (to which Mr Donaldson’s former Report was limited), so they render necessary more par¬ ticular and detailed personal investigation, the result of which we beg to present tor the consideration of the Commissioners, embodying, at the same time, the substance of the former Report. a ( 37 )
