METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

The weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of
Works was held yesterday in the Council Chamber,
Guildhall ; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair.
The cash account showed a total general balance
of 47,603/. Os. 10d.
OFFENSIVE CONDITION OF HACKNEY BROOK.
A deputation from the Board of Trustees of Hack-
ney and the Hackney-district board attended the
board this day to present a memorial complaining
that in consequence of the contents of the sewers
being passed into the brook, disease and death had
resulted to the inhabitants, and praying the board
to afford them immediate relief. '
The memorial was received.

Mr. J. Billing was elected surveyor, under the
Metropolitan Building Act, for the district of St.
George-in-the-East and St. Botolph Without, Ald-
gat e.

THE MAIN DRAINAGE PLAN FOR THE METROPOLIS.
Mr. Wrightat the last board had given notice that
he would to-day ask certain questions of the engineer.
After some objections it was decided, by 20 to
15, that the questions might be put, and
Mr. WRIGHT then put the first question—Havo
you made yourself acquainted with the reports and
appendices on the main drainage sent to the board
by her Majesty's Chief Commissioner of Works ?
Mr. BAZELGETTE, the engineer, said he had, as
far as they admitted of examination, and although
they contained a great mass of matter they con-
tained very little in reference to the plans suggested
by the government ; they gave no cross sections or
information as to the size, levels, or mode of filling
the reservoirs with tidal water.
Mr. WRIGHT then asked what were the principal
points of difference between the plan of the govern-
ment engineers and the plan approved by the board?
Mr. BAZALGETTE said—This board has, with
little exception, provided for the sewage of the
metropolitan area, as defined by, the Metropolis
Local Management Act. The government engi-
neers have included in their plan 217 square
miles beyond that area, or nearly three times as
much as the act of Parliament has confided to
this board. They. intercept the sewage by gra-
vitation from thirty seven square miles more than
is done by the plan of this board, an arrangement
which, although sound in theory, may be and has
been obtained at too great a sacrifice. To obtain
the increased gravitating power they have been
driven to construct two open sewers, each 16 feet
deep and 88 feet wide, with a general fall. of only
6 inches in the mile. These sewers are, moreover,
tide-locked, for their inverts are 29 feet below
Trinity high water, and they could only discharge
at or near low water. Therefore the sewage in
them, like the present defective open sewers in the
Surrey and Kent district, would be stagnant for
many hours in the day, and the sewage when dis-
charged, instead of flowing down the river, as would
be the case with our sewers, with the ebb tide,
would flow up the river with the flood tide, and
thus much of the proposed advantages of the lower
point of the outfall would be lost. To add to the
defects of these sewers there are in their course no
less than six syphons. The first, with a dip of 10f
feet : the second with a dip of 9i feet ; the third,
51 feet ; fourth, 5t feet ; and the sixth, 9 feet.
As it is apparent that these saviors must col-
lect deposit, the Government engineers sug-
gest that they should be flushed by water
from the river at high water, and reservoirs
constructed at the upper end. The Government
engineers pronounce the sizes of the sewers pro-
posed by the board to be inadequate to the future
requirements of the metropolis. Hitherto these
sewers have been considered extravagantly large by
Messrs. Roe, Phillips, Forster, Gotta, Morewood,
Ward, and others. They have been reported to
be of the right size by Mr. Robert Stephenson, Sir
William Cubitt, Mr. Haywood, and myself ; and
they are now for the first time called too small by
the Government engineers. The Government
engineers estimate the prospective population
likely to be attained within the metropolitan area
at 3,578,089 ; I estimate it at 3,448,500. They
estimate the sewage upon the above population at
7 cubic feet per head, half passing off in eight hours ;
I estimate it at 5 cubic feet per head, and half
passing off in six hours, the difference between us
here being only five per cent. The great differences
of size are caused, therefore by their including three
times the size of the metropolis, reducing the fall of
the sewers, and including much more rainfall. The
plan of the board proposes to intercept one-quarter of
an inch of rain running in 24 hours. They pro-
vide for two-fifths of an inch of rain running
off in eight hours, each being for urban districts,
or an increase of 830 per cent. The- only advan-
tage gained by this enlargement of the sewers to
include more storm waters is, that it would prevent
the overflow of the storm waters into the river on
from 10 to 12 rainy days in the year more than by
the plan of the board. But on those days the
river would be much swollen, and its waters turbid,
and the effect of the storm overflows would
therefore be quite imperceptible, and the following
evils are involved in the enlargement. First, un-
necessary and " extravagant cost ; and, second, de-
fective sewers which would collect deposit, and
create offensive smells during the summer months,
.for the daily flow of sewage in such large sewers,
with so little fall, would be a mere driblet through
them, and could not cleanse them. Such arrange-
ments must, therefore, necessarily perpetuate
existing evils, which a plan of interception is
intended to remove.
Mr. LESLIE moved that the answers be printed
and circulated amongst the members of the board.
Mr. CARPNA.EL seconded the motion, which was
put and unanimously agreed to.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(This Day.)

1 MARLBOROUGH-STREET.A LOOSE TRIGGER.—Charles Trigger, an inmate of
St. Martin's Workhouse, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Bingham, charged with being found in the ward
allotted to the women in the above workhouse, contrary
to the regulations of the Poor Law Commissioners.
It appeared from the evidence of Rose, one of the
porters, that at a late hour on the previous night be
was called by one of the nurses to the sick ward,
where he found the poor invalids in a great fright,
and on making inquiries as to the cause thereof, he was
informed that some one had been running backwards and
forwards over the roof justabovetheir heads makiogsuch
a noise that it was impossible for any of them to sleep.
He examined the premises and found a ladder had been
removed from an adjoining building and placed against
the roof of the women's ward. He went up the ladder
and found one of the windows open, and the marks on
the sill as if some person had recently passed. He at
once entered the room through the open window,
where, to his great surprise,!he saw the prisoner making
himself exceedingly free amongst the women. On
asking the prisoner what his business was there, he
replied, " Oh, I am only come for a bit of plaister."
Witness, however, did not for a moment believe this,
and as the accused bore an exceedingly loose character,
he gave him into custody.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he merely
went to the women to get a plaister for a man who had
eut his head. He was not aware he was doing wrong.
Mr. Bingham said the workhouse regulations must
be enforced, 4nd it was useless the prisoner denying
all knowledge of them, and as long as he was an
inmat3 of the house he must be content to submit to
them. As a warning to him for the future, he should
commit him for 14 days wish hard labour.
