THE PROGRESS OF THE MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS.

The Chief Engineer laid before the Board the following
report on the progress of the main drainage works :
"Making duo allowance for the shortness of the days in
the present month, and for the stoppage of the works in the
Christmas week, fair progress has been made in the execu-
tion of the several sections of the main drainage works. In
connection with the Middle Level line and its branches,
Messrs.Brassey and Co. have now completed nearly 11 miles
of sewers, varying from 4it to 12ft, at an estimated cost of
£293,000 or £4,000 more than was reported last month.
Messrs. Moxon and Co. have completed above 21 miles of
the Western sewers, ranging in size from 4ft Gin circular
to 3ft gin to 21t 6in, at a probable cost of about £40,500,
being £2,500 in excess of my last monthly report. These
works are still being carried on in confined localities, and
great precautions are necessary to avoid damage to adjoin-
ing properties. The apron piece in the river, at the outlet
of the Northern Outfall Sewer, is not yet quite completed,
owing to the very short tidel periods in which it can be pro-
ceeded with. Some other minor works also remain to be
done to complete this contract, under which, to the present
time, Mr. Furness has executed work to the value of about
£614,000, of which £9,000 is due to the progress made in the
past month. The amount of work done by Mr. Furness un-
der his contract for the Northern Outfall Reservoir is esti-
mated at about £140,000, £15,000 representing the propor-
tion of the work done last month. At the Southern Outfall
Works, Crossness, about 142,000
cubic yards of ground
have been excavated and removed, and about 70,000 yards
of concrete filled in. About 4,000 rods of brickwork, 28,000
cubic feet of masonry, and 67,000 superficial feet of paving
have also been executed, and 85 penstocks fixed. To the
present time the total cost of the work executed by Mr.
Webster under this contract amounts to about £175,000, or
£6,300 in excess of the sum reported last month. Mr.
Webster, under his contract for the Main Southern Low
Level Sewer, has now completed nearly 2f miles of this line,
which, with other works, amount in value to abount £8(1,000,
an excess of £12,000 over my last monthly report. Messrs.
Aird and Son have satisfactorily completed within the time
allowed by the contract the entire line of the Bermondsey
branch of the Southern Low Level Sewer. Its total length
is nearly three miles, and its cost, as far as can be ascer-
tained till the account is finally adjusted, is about £91,000.
Notwithstanding very many difficulties with the paviors
anti others, some of whom struck on Tuesday last, the new
Southwark-street will this day be opened by the Board for
public traffic throughout its entire length from the Borough
to the Blackfi iars-road. The total value of the work done
by Mr. Pearson under his contract for the completion of
this street amounts to about £24,500, or £5,000 more than
reported last month.
