UR B. HALL AND TSB MBTROPOLIT4NI

BOARD OP WORKS.

ON THE MAIN DRAINAGE
SCHEME. - -

Yesterday afternoon, in =corded= with melon'
arreammest, a deputed= from the Metropolitan Board of
Weeks, onsiatiag of Mr. John Thweitee, president; Mr.
Basal/ode, engineer.le-ohief ; Mr. X. H. Woolryeb, ere=
tarp ; sad Mr. Marrable, the ambit= to the board, waited
up= the Right Hen. 81r Besianda Hall, Bert., at the
Mee of Public Weeks, Whitehall-pia= for the purpose of

submitting for his approval the ame•Jed semis adopted by
the Metropolitan Board for the sae iatereepling sewage,
and plane for other metropolitan improvements.
Mr. Taverns said that, in conformity with the pro.
visions of the Metropolis Local Management Act, they had
sttondid is submit for the approval of the govenrateat,
through its Chief COMllibliOalff of Peak Works, the
emended plan adopted by the Metropolitan Bawd of Works
for the mein latereepting sewage of the metropolis, marked
"B." This plan proposed for Its outfal Halfway-mask.
and a point of the river Themes below Brith. Abeaer
plea had hoed haste them for extending the cattail to Bea-
reach ; bat, lasesoneir as the carrying of the London sew-
age to ask o demises through the south '.of Kent and
Bras wooed involve an abditetwal outlay of two millions of
norm, the Metropolitan Board did sot feel itself justified
in throwing that edditioael amount of taxation upon the me-
tropolis ; bat if the governaeat approved of the latter plan
sad would provide for the extra expense, thea the Board of
Works would elterafally carry that plan oat.

Sir B. Harz wished the deputation to understand that
say plaa whist thou might submit to hint, and whir's he
roseelved was osleuletod to bring the sewer within the
mitrepolitaa distriet, he had the pima to West. He haw
nothing of the plait new proposed, mope what he had
read is the nswspepas ; and therefore he shield require
lissalgette to enter into an 'aphasia,s of the who's
seksate from begianing to sad, boatman with ow side of
the Thames, sad thou taking the other.

Mr. Basaiturrrs this eatired at great length late the
details of his pisy with the. aid of map.. diagrams, Be. ;
and m asswer to questions put by the right has baronet,
he admitted that ft would be aeetaaary to have veriest
out:alit into the Thames bottom. Vireurhail-bridge sad
Deptford-meek to wary off the names stern water whisk it
might be impeded would be seeiseary from twenty to thirty
days Is sash Isar. It 'sight so happen that with time
floods /OM of the swags would unavoidably be swim' late
the Thames. It was proposed that the vadat
of the *swap at Halfway-reesh should take place
one hoar before and two) kern after the shasp of
tide. The point of discharge would be two miles sad a half
beyond the isstropoUtaa ere' es the math side, sad three
milts and a qoarter as the satin side et the Thaler. It
had bean misdated that the flow of the sewage after being
diseharged into the Manse might toms within about a
quarter of a ale of the metropolitan bossdary.
Bir B. Harz said two plass had already bees rejected,
one as the Shad July, sad the Vest as the 6th of October.
What he (liir B. Heil) wasted to know wee how it was that
the Metropolitan Board had breathe before Ma (the right
hos. bareset) this plan " B," ening that the beard bad
themesives is the trot ketones partially esadentsed it,
whoa they !ejected it tee teethe: information, and that In
the sewed issinsie they had wholly ersdemsed it. Oa tie
latter emmetee, whss the 'Whim pvs the meting rte, he
(Ms B. Hall) reeollested reeding that eat elthe simaben
essialesed, is rehmenes to that vets w Toe have saved the
board."

Kr. Tzwanws sanitised that that was in mimeses le
ea eassadmeat that the mita should be west of Edith,
whisk was waived.
ale B. HELD said be seppseed that the plan " " bed
been submitted to bin under the impression that It sees-
plied with the revisions of the set. AU ha meld this so
I wee, that the whole widest should have his best sad MOO
speedy atteatioa.

Yr. Yuwr then eabotitted the plea for the Covitat
'saga lierovesesets, the ast Missals for the eon of whisk
is 48,0001., of wish* the Doke of Bedford sebetribse
16,0001. - - _ _
