about double the supply of the Kent Water Company ;
from these and other causes, the progress of the works
was much retarded. These difficulties were, however,
eventually overcome, and the work completed at a cost
of about £15,650. The works in course of construction
'at the date of the last report, and not yet completed,
are—on the north side, the Ranelagh storm overflow
and the middle level sewer; and on the south side
the southern outfall sewer, southern high level sewer, and
the engines for the Deptford pumping station. The first of
these works, viz , the Ranelagh overflow sewer, passes
through Hyde-park and Kensington-gardens, between
Knightsbridge and Bayswater; the length is 5,700 feet,
with a fall of 12i feet per mile, and it will be constructed at
depths varying from 11 to 44 feet below the surface, the
sizes being Bft 6in and 9ft, barrels. The engineer's estimate
for this work was £24,640, the contract was let for £23,500 ;
the value pf the work executed up to the end of June was
£15,500, and it is expected that the whole will be completed
in the month of November next. The object of this work
is principally to divert from the Serpentine the overflew
sewage which discharges into that ornamental piece of
water at Bayswater during periods of heavy storms, when
the upland waters are greatly charged with foul and often.
sive matters; the nuisance will wholly cease on the com-
pletion of the works. This sewer will be connected with
the middle level sewer, and will form a storm overflow at
the point of junction with the Ranelagh at Knightsbridge;
and, as it will also afford means of drainage for property
belonging to the Crown, the Government have agreed to
contribute the sup of £2,000 towards the cost of the work.
The middle level sewer, north of the Thames, comprises
the construction of about twelve and one-fifth miles of
sewers, varying in size from 4ft by 2ft Bin to 9Pt by
12tt, at depths varying from 10 feet to 60 feet, the fall
ranging between 25 feet and 2 feet per mile; 33,862 feet,
being more than half the work, will have to be executed
by tunnelling. It will extend frem the northern high
level etwer, east of Sir George Dukett's Canal at Old
Ford, to the western arm of the Counter's Creek main
sewer, near Kensal-green. For more than two miles the
sewer will pass under houses and Other private property,
and for the remainder of its length through the public streets
and roads, nearly all of which are crowded thoroughfares, and
some of them the most important in the metropolis. The
works were originally contracted for in March, 1860, and
were commenced on the 4th of April following. In conse •
quence of the failure of the contractor, the board were com-
pelled to stop the works, after about £12,451 had been
expended, and again to submit the work to public compe-
tition. It was accordingly relet, and the contract is now in
active operation at Old Ford and Bayswater; and from the
arrangements madeb3 the contractors, the board confidently
anticipate that the works will now progress satisfactorily.
The amount of the contract is £329,800, and the value of
the work executed up to the end of June was £39,000. The
southern outfall sewer comprises the construction of about
seven miles 2,240 feet of sewer, llf ft. in diameter, with a
fall of 2 ft. per mile, between Erith Marshes and Deptford,
where it will be connected with the Deptford pumping
station, and after receiving the contents of the high level
sewer at Deptford Creek by gravitation, and those of the
low level sewer through the Deptford pumping engines,
will convey the whole of the southern drainage through
Greenwich, under Woolwich, and across the Erith Marshes
to Halfway Reach, at a point about twelve miles below
London-bridge. The sewage will there be raised by pump-
ing engines into reservoirs, and discharged at the
bottom of the river during the first two hours of ebb tide
only, so that whilst it will there be diluted by about a hun-
dred times greater volume of river water than at present, it
will also be carried by the ebb tide to a point twenty-four
miles below London-bridge. At Woolwich, the sewer has
been constructed by tunnel, for about a mile in length, at
depths varying from 45 It. to 75 ft. The engineer's estimate
for this work ,a as £291,000 ; the contract price £300,000 ;
and the amount of work executed up to the end of June was
£174,000. The southern high level sewer comprises the
construction of about 9 miles 2,940 ft. of sewer, and varies in
size from 4 ft. 6 in. by 3 ft. to 10 ft. 6 ie. by 10 ft. 6 in., the
fall varying from 53 ft. to 21 ft. per mile. It commences at
High-street, Clapham, and extends to Deptford Creek. The
engineer's estimate was £212,457 ; the contract price,
£217,000. The value of the work executed up to the end of
June is estimated at £92,000. Since the date of the last

report, the Board have caused to be prepared specifications
and working drawings, and have entered into contracts for
the construction of the northern outfall sewer and the
Deptford pumping station. The first of these works com-
prises about five and a quarter miles of double and treble
sewer, nine feet in diameter, and extends from the River
Lea, near Old Ford, to Barking Creek. The extensive cha-
racter of this contract will be apparent, when it is stated that
the whole length of the sewers will be carried in an em-
bankment to be formed of concrete and earth. At the River
Lea, the sewers will be formed of iron tubes, supported by
iron girders, forming a bridge. The sewers will cross six
other streams by means of bridges, and will pass under
one ant over two lines of railway. The engineer's esti-
mate for the work was £635,000 ; and the contract
has been taken at £625,000. The arrangements made
by the contractor, for laying down a temporary
railway some miles in length, for the employment of loco-
motive engines, and the formation of coffer-dams, Sco , lead
to the expectation that this was the most extensive yet let
of the main drainage works, will be carried on with speed,
alai in a satisfactory manner. The amount of work done,
up to the end of July last, was about £39,000. The works
at the Deptford p mp,ng station embrace two contracts;
one for the pumping-engines, of 500-horse power collec-
tively, with the necessary boilers, pumps, and other ma-
chinery, the engineer's estimate for which was £22,000, and
the contract taken at £22,300. This work, as already stated,
was in progress at the date of the last report, and is now
nearly completed. The ether contract is for the engine and
boiler houses for the above, including furnaces, chimney-
shaft, coal-sheds, &c. ; also for a wharf wall, in front of
the works, next Deptford Creek, and for a few short lengths
of sewers, some of which serve to connect the low level
sewers with the pump-well, and to deliver the sewaze, when
lifted, into the outfall sewer, and others to connect the high
level sewer, from Clapham and Dulwich, directly with the
outfall sewer. The engineer's estimate was £115,000, and
the contract was taken at £113,136. The works hitherto
carried out are of a preliminary character. The board have
investigated claims arising out of the purchase of property
required fur main drainage purposes, the aggregate of which
was £66,287 10s. 6d. ; but by negotiation that amount has
• been reduced to £46,737 25., at which sum thay have been
settled,
