Item (xiv). This work was undertaken to improve the scavenging lane between K.I.L.s 394 and 919 which was in an insanitary condition owing to the channels becoming continually blocked.
Item (xv). Complaints having been received from the Soy and Ginger Factory on K.I.L. 629 that flooding occurred during heavy rains, causing trouble with the drainage of their premises, the sewer was extended and a direct connection was given to it.
Item (xvi). This extension was made to enable an extra connection to be made from K.I.L. 1203 to the storm-water system as the premises were flooded during heavy and prolonged rains. The cost was defrayed by the lessees.
