METROPOLITAN COMMISSION
OF SEWERS.

Yesterday morning an adjourned General Court of
Commissioners was held at Greek-street, in pursuance
of a requsition signed by three of the Commissioners—
Sir J. Burgoyne, Mr. Hardwick, and Mr. T. Hawes
—" for the purpose of adopting the report and plan
of the engineer with respect to the drainage of the
south side of the river, and to take such measures
thereon as may be deemed necessary for carrying the
same into effect." •

Dawson, Capt. Harness, Mr. Hawes,
Viscount Ebrington took the chair; the other Com-
missionersand Mr. Lewes.
'The CHAIRMAN moved, pursuant to notice given,
Mr. Hardwick,Captain
" That the order of the Special Court of Sewers of
the 29th of August, 1849, be rescinded." The order
has reference to the flushing operations carried on
under the authority of the Commissioners; and the
report as to their proceedings, now produced, would
be received and laid before Parliament in a few days,
probably on Thursday next. . •
The Secretary then read-the following report:—
" Pursuant to the resolution of the general committee,
that I should forthwith make a return to the order of
the Special Court of Sewers of the 29th of August, 1849,
as far as the materials for such return were already di-
gested and arranged, I beg to report to the Court the
stage to which the inquiry directed by that Order has
advanced. The duty imposed upon me by the order in
question was to prepare an account in detail of all the
expenditure of and incident to the flushing works done
since the opening of the Commission of November, 1847,
and of all the work done for such expenditure and under
whose direction, showing the' length of the sewers
cleansed and, as nearly as may be, the quantity in cubic
yards of soil removed by such flushing from its original
place of deposit to its place of final discharge from the
sewers, and to report thereon to the Court, with such
remarks as might enable the Court to form an opinion' as
to the propriety of such expenditure. In order to ascer-
tain the most convenient mode of conducting the in-
quiry upon the passing of the order referred to, I pro-
ceeded to read the several reports made upon the subject
by the surveyors, examine the contracts, returns, and
pay-sheets, and conferred with several of the officers of
the Commission and with others, with a view to acquaint
myself with the general nature of the flushing opera-
tions and the successive changes which the system had
undergone during the period mentioned in the order.
This preliminary investigation led me to the opinion that

reference to the several heads of information
required by the order of Court. For this pur-
pose the eastern and western divisions of the Westmins-
ter sewers were selected, and I directed a re-
turn to be made for those districts of the sums paid to
the persons contracting to cleanse the sewers within
those limits, as well as of those sums paid in respect of
expenses which might fairly be considered as incident
to the operation of blushing, though this last head of ex-
penditure was one which presented considerable diffi-
culty, giving rise to much difference of opinion. To as-
certain the lengths of sewers flushed, directions were
given that a careful abstract should be prepared of the
inspectors during the period in
question,o show the lengths of sewers

contracts,t and the number of times
each sewer was flushed. At the same time I took
steps for ascertaining, as nearly as could be conveniently
effected, the actual length of the sewers mentioned in
those returns, and directed a competent person in the
office, with two assistants, to determine the actual length

IComuaryt.reWmiathrkrtehsaptecttha quantityreturns
erns of deposit removed,
furnished to the Commis-
sioners professed to set out the length and dimensions of
the sewers, and the quantity of deposit removed ; and
it is obvious that the whole value of this information
depended on the accuracy with which these observations,
as to the depth of deposit, were made. I. therefore,
directed the clerks before alluded to to carefully ab-
stract the quantities stated in these returns, and, by the
lengths as correctly determined and the actual dimen-
sions and form of the sewers, to ascertain the quantity
removed; proposing. after obtaining this information,
to examine the parties by whom and in whose pre-
sence the deposit had been measured. to learn
whether this operation had been so conducted as to
justify confidence in its accuracy. The inquiry thus
commenced was proceeding at the time the first Metro-
politan Commission of Sewers was superseded. After
the issuing of the present Commission, my time was so
much engrossed by the current business of the Commis-
sion that I found it impossible to take any active part in
the investigation, though I from time to time examined
the work as it proceeded. This continued until within
a few weeks of the resolution of the House of Commons
requiring a copy of the return of the above order. I may
venture to remind the Commissioners that among the
earliest instructions to the engineer, after his appoint-
ment, was that he should direct his especial attention to
the flushing works, and within a very short time it was
determined by them to effect an alteration in that sys-
tem, and in the month of ---,
in the present year, it
was placed upon an improved and more economical foot-
ing. The present Commissioners having decided upon
the course to be taken in reference to this matter, thus
effected the chief object to which the inquiries directed
by the order of Court were intended to lead. The officers
selected for this duty have now carefully ascertained, by
reference to the documents I have named, the actual
length of each sewer in the eastern and western divisions
ohfav ngbeenWestminsterflushreetdurdnuering the period under dbythe flushing inspectors as
considera-
tion, and by taking the number of limes each sewer was
stated to have been flushed they have shown the total
number of lineal feet flushed in the above named divi-
sions during that period. They have also given certain
results as to the quantity of deposit removed in cubic
yards; but on this it must be observed that the value of
these depends on the correctness of the depth of deposit
stated in the returns, :which returns were made by the
flushing inspectors thern,elves, and the accuracy of
this portion of them I have up to this time had
no opportunity of testing, It is, indeed, stated by
the officers above referred to, that the returns are erro-
neous so far as regards the quantity of deposit removed
—inasmuch as they omit to take into account the vari-
ation in the shape of the tower, whether circular, egg-
shaped, or with segmental inverts—that they treated all
sewers as square, and consequently exhibit a consider-
able excess of deposit over what would have been shown
if the measurement had been taken with reference to the
actual form of each sewer. On the other hand, the
officer who had the charge of the flushing al
leges,
that alle e.,
that the practical difference by either
method of
shapes
which
mea-
surement was, for various reasons, inconsiderable. But
it was never attempted to do more than give a rough
approximation to the truth, as the question of quantity
a s
thatd from

bear
on h e
the contract,
deposit but
was s
u merely
e s
m
important with reference to certain collateral objects;
at the bottom of sewers, the numerous defects in the
sides and inverts of the open sewers by decay and other
causes, and the fact that the measurements were taken
in the middle of the sewers, the quantities returned are
rather under than over the mark; and he, moreover,
states that whenever reference was made to them in former
reports to the Commissioners, the gross quantities were
always considerably reduced. It was, no doubt, true
that the question of the quantity of deposit, however im-
portant tor the purpose of determining the relative cost
of the different systems, bad nothing whatever to do
with the contracts under which the work was performed.
These contracts were to keep the sewers clean, or to
prevent deposit from accumulating in the sewers within
a certain district, at a given sum per week, and payment
was agreed to be made on the certificate that such
work had been performed. Neither the length of
the sewer cleansed, nor the quantity of deposit re-
moved, was any element in the contract, either
for determining final payment or regulating ad;
vances. It appears to me, however, very questionable
whether there is any mode of ascertaining the quantity
of soil in cubic yards removed from its place of original
deposit to its place of final discharge, as directed by this
part of the order of the Court. The whole of the re-
turns relative to the Surrey and Sent district have been
abstracted, but no further step has yet been taken for
measuring the lengths or investigating the other matters
in question, as in the eastern and western divisions. The
general result of the inquiry, as conducted in the manner
I have described, is to show that in the eastern division,
between the sth of January, 1849, and the 4th of Sep•
tember in the same year, 899,780 lineal feet of sewers
were the aul
were flushed ; that for this there was p
con-
tractors the sum of 4661. 14s. 11d. ; that to this amount
must be added the sum of 45/. 2s. 4d for the cost of open-
ing the ground before and making it good after
flushing, flushing small sewers,
removing soil, cleansing
nose pipes, and other small items, and making venti-
lating shafts, but the
whole of the lasthead is not pro-
perly chargeable to flushing, as the ventilating shafts arc
useful for other purposes. The
te depthsdeposit statedfurnished
to have
been removed, as ascertained, by
by the inspectors, and the dimensions f
and forms of the
sewers, amounts to 11,939 cubic yards. The accuracy_
no opportunity of
of this, as before stated, I have had
testing. In the western division the length flushed is
and the total amount paid
stated at 1,320,206 lineal feet,
to contractors in respect of this work was
5241. Os. 3d. To this must be added the
sum of 1881. 12s, sd. for openings and
the other
items above enumerated in the case of the eastern
division. There are other:items of expenditure not yet
aseeriainede--the cost of flushing-gates, hooks, rakes,
and other implements, a proportion of the coot of yenti•

lating shafts, side entrances, and of superintendents, but
which can bo ascertained if the Commissioners should
be pleased to give directions to that effect. The quan-
tity of cubic yards is stated in this division at 17,767;
but the observations already made on this point again
apply. The detailed particulars, locality of sewers, con-
tractors' names, &c., will be found in the returns ap-
pended thereto. If the Commissioners should direct
that the inquiry should be further prosecuted I will en-
deavour, as far as practicable, to satisfy the minute re-
quirements of the order upon the subject; but I venture
to remark that the consequence of ,o doing will be to
consume so much valuable time as materially to impede
the general business of the Commission and to necessi-
tate additional expense. If the Commissioners should
bo pleased to decide upon ordering the return to be
completed, I beg respectfully to observe that the present
staff of officers is inadequate fur the purpose, and that it
will become indispensable that I should be furnished
with additional assistance.

'•I have the honour to be, my Lord and Gentlemen,
your most obedient servant,
"E. H. WooLniecir, Secretary.
" To the Hon. the Metropolitan Commissioners of
Sewers." _ _ _

This report was agreed to, and ordered to be pre
sented to the House of Commons.

Upon the motion of Mr. LiwEs, the report as to
the drainage of the southern side of the metropolis
was formally received and adopted, and the works
ordered to be commenced with the least possible
delay.
Mr. Hams said that it was very important, in car-
rying out works of this magnitude, that they should
be executed with as little delay as possible. They had
seen enough of these kinds of works in the metropolis
to know that the moment any delay took place alter-
ations were proposed entailing a great expense and
frequently much disappointment. He hoped that this
great work, which had been agreed upon after due
consideration, would be carried out with vigour, and
as quickly as possible.
Capt. HARNESS said that it was erroneously stated
that the drainage of the southern side of the metro-
polis would cost 500,0001. ,The cost would be only
241,0001., or, in round numbers, 250,0001.
Mr. HAWES said that it would be requisite to bor-
row 250,000 L, and this had been, by mistake, pub-
lished 500,0001. He was anxious to guard against
misapprehension on that point.
The following works were then ordered by the
Court :-450 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer in Webber-
street, Southwark, cost 441.; 250 feet of 15-inch

street, 123/. ; 160 feet of open sewer at the back of
Pembroke-square, Kensington, 34/. ; 1,210 feet of
12-inch pipe at Turnham-green • terrace, 1731.
After ordering several works of less importance the
Court adjourned.
