(c.) That portion of the Peak which lies between Barker Road and Plautation Road from the Cottage to Victoria Hospital is drained by a sewer which follows the line of Chatham Path and is connected with the City System at May Road.
(d.) The drainage of the remainder of the Peak District, .e.-Plunkett's Gap,
Victoria Gap and Victoria Peak is connected to the City System by a sower in Peak Road.
(e.) I attach 1,400'-1" key plan of the City of Victoria in duplicate showing what additional drainage could be dealt with by a dry weather flow intercepting sewer from Robinson Road to Kennedy Town with an outfall invert at mean sea-level in Sulphur Channel 2,400 feet West of Cadogan Street, which could be extended if found necessary. The drainage from those Peak districts mentioned in items C and D could also be dealt with by the introduction of an inverted syphon through Glenealy between Peak Road and St. Joseph's College and Robinson Road, and a short connection at May Road from the Barker Road sewer to the existing sewer in May Road.
1. All existing sewers below the level of such an intercepting sewer would be retain- ed and would automatically come into use directly the dry weather flow, or whatever additional small proportion of storm-water it was decided to admit, was exceeded.

(2.) A report as to whether the existing sewers above Barker Road would be sufficient for a Water Carriage System, and, if not, an estimate of the cost involved in making them so.
(3.) Additional information' as to, and the estimated cost of, the suggested sewer
with outfall near Bennetts Hill.
2. As the next meeting of the Committee is to be held on the 15th instant, I should be glad if you could supply the above information early, please.

1. So far as public sewers are concerned no reconstruction is necessary, except a few alterations of a minor nature and the relaying of a short length of sewer in Coombe Road opposite R.B.L. 49 estimated to cost $500. Additional sewers will be required as follows:
(.) A sewer from the existing Peak Roal sewer at the North West corner of the Upper Tramway Terminus, through Crown Land parellel to and North of the tramway to a point south of R.B.L. 108 where it should cross the tramway and follow the line of Barker Road to the existing sewer opposite the Cottage in Barker Road.
The estimated cost of this work is $4,500.
