METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

(This Day).

THE SEWERAGE QUESTION•

This afternoon a special meeting of the members of
the Metropolitan Board of Works was held in Council
Room No. 1, at the Guildhall, Mr. Thwaites in the
chair, to consider the Metropolitan Sewerage question.
Mr. CRELLIN moved, " That the plan No. 1, in the
engineer's report, suggesting the deodorising works be
added at the Barking and Woolwich outfall, be adopted.
The works without deodorising would involve a total
expenditure represented as capital of 2,955,0761., and
that the addition of doodprising works would involve an
expenditure represented as capital at 4,228,5561. He
asked the board to adopt this plan on its merits, and be-
cause he believed it was the best that could be adopted
under the circumstances. There could be no doubt but
that sewage would ultimately acquire a high c3mtuereial
value.

Mr. CARPMAEL seconded the motion.
Mr. LESLIE asked if the question could be put, the
Government having rejected a former plan for discharg-
ing the sewage at Barking Reach ? He thought the
chairman would have found out that before and have
informed the hon. member of it.
The CHAIRMAN said that if there bad been anything to
find out no doubt he should have done it. He thought
there was a difference between discharging sewage and
purified water into the Thames at Barking Creek.
Mr. SNOW considered the duty of the Board was only
to provide sewerage for the metropolis, and not to estab-
lish commercial works by the construction of deodoris-
ing works.
Mr. OF/ER thought it would be better for the Board
first to decide on an outlet, with the consent of the
Government, and after that consider the propriety of
establishing deodorising works. He moved the previous
question.
A division then took place, when Mr. Offer's motion
was agreed to by a large majority, and, consequently,
Mr. Crellin's motion was not put.
Mr. BRISTOWE then moved,
t, That before deciding upon any of the plans sub-
mitted to the board, a communication be addressed to
the chief commissioner of public works, requesting an
interview with him by a deputation from this board and
the engineer, at the earliest possible opportunity."
Mr. WILKINSON seconded the motion.
Mr. TURNER objected to the resolution as affecting
their independence, and the Government conceiving the

board felt pressure would obtain popularity at the ex
pense of the board, by compelling them to adopt a plan
that would subject the metropolis to a heavier rating
than was desirable to obtain for Greenwich and other

towns on the Thames what all desired, viz., the purifica.
tion of the river.

Mr. Deputy HARRISON thought the adoption of the
resolution would place the board in a humiliating posi-
tion. The board had already decided on one plan. The
board had the power of determining on the works neces-
sary for the metropolis without interference. His idea
was that they should negative all the plans, and that if
the Government wanted the drainage carried beyond
the limits of the metropolis, they should assist them
from the Consolidated Fund. (Hear.) Then it would

be necessary to have a conference with the Government
and the members of the metropolis, but he objected to
being placed under the direction of Sir Benjamin Hall.
Mr. DIFFANGER objected to the resolution, and sug-
gested that they should act independently, according to
the terms of the act, and'not become the tool of any
president of the Board of Works.
Mr. OFFER supported the motion, which would show
Sir B. Hall that their engineer and the board possessed
superior information to that of the Board of Works.
The effect would be to induce the Government to get
rid of the ilimsy objection to the outlet at Barking
Creek. He (Mr. Offer) would go to him and press that
the outlet should be at Barking or Plumstead.
After some further discussion the resolution was lost
by a large majority.

Mr. TIM ER moved—

" That the third mode suggested by the engineer, in
his report of September 25th, for disposing of the
metropolitan sewage, namely by discharging the sewage
into the river at Long Reach, be adopted by the board."
He moved this not from a feeling that this was the best
plan, but because the board had to a certain extent de-
cided that the outlet should be beyond Half-way Reach,
and as Long Reach was upwards of five miles lower
down the river there would be no chance of the sewage
being brought back by the tide within the extreme
limits of the metropolis on the south side, except on
two or three daysin every month owing to the irregularity
of the tides. The only part that would be inconvenienced
by it would be Gravesend, and other places below, and if the
Government compelled the board to go to the sea, they
should asssist in the construction of the works, and not
compel the rate-payers of the metropolis to pay for the
convenience of those places.

Mr. DALTCer seconded the motion that it might be
quashed. (Laughter.)
Mr. DoULTON said the difficulty in the sewerage bad
been of the Board's making, in not submitting a plan
in the firsl; in3tance to the Government, in accordance

with the terms of the act of Parliament, that " the

sewage should not be discharged in or near the metro-

polis:" They had to decide a question of fact, and the
only objection to the outlet at Sea Reach was its ex•
pen-e. Economy was a tangible argument, but in this
instance the public voice, as expressed by the newspaper

press, was not to spare expense and adopt a plan on
account of its economy, but to construct a drainage that
shall answer all the requirements of the metropolis, and
be for the public benefit. The difference of expense be-
tween Long Reach and Sea Reach involved only a rating
of a penny in the pound, and he argued it was not worth
their while to Niggle about that, but do that which

would bo a credit to them, and a lasting honour to the
country. He moved as an amendment that the engineer
be authorised to prepare plans, sections, estimates, &c.,

for draining the metropolis by two main sewers, one on
each side of the river, having their outfalls at Sea Reach.
Mr. TAYLOR contended the amendment could not be
put, there being a specific motion on the paper for the
consideration of the whole qusstion.
The CHAIRMAN decided it could be.
Mr. WARE seconded the amendment, which he said
he considered the preferable mode. He objected to
their tunnelling the Thames to connect the two sewers
as proposed by the Engineer's plans.
[We shall give the continuation in our last edition.]

ment of the Principal and Interest of the several Plans
for the Main Intercepting Drainage, submitted by the
Engineer, spread over the respective periods of 26 and

Smithfield. The solicitor who appeared for the right
hoe. gentleman stated the lease would expire in three
years, and as some other property adjoining the building
in question wou'd also fall into Mr. Gibson's hands at
that time, it was intended to repair the premises for the
present, and at the exritation of the leases deal with the
whole property. The building was, however, ordered to
be pulled down directly.
