THE FLEET SEWER.

Mr. HAYWOOD the surveyor to the commission, then
read a report on the works now going on at the Fleet
sewer. Within a few days after the date of his last re
port, the small opening into the sewer in New Bridge-
street had been surrounded by a close box or board, and
a deodorising powder evolving chlorine had been so
copiously used that no smell had been perceptible, ex-
cepting that of the chlorine itself. About 70 feet of
new invert had been laid, and the works were progress-
ing rapidly, being carried on night and day whenever
the tides would permit. Mr. Haywood then proceeded
to combat at some length the objections which had been
made against the mode of conducting the operations,
and concluded by asserting thas every possible care had
been taken to reduce the annoyance to the minimum.
After some discussion, it was resolved that copies of
the report should le sent to Lord Palmerston and the
Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers.
Mr. Painter and Mr. Williams were elected inspectors
of pavements and nuisances. The appointments took
place in consequence of the vast increase of business in
the City of London.—Adjourned.
