280 Street, North Melbourne, discharging into Yarra Yarra Ponds Creek; and Reilly Street, partly open, drain through Fitzroy and Collingwood into the Yarra, and the Palmer Street main in Richmond also into the Yarra.

In Collingwood there are about five miles of underground sewers; and in Richmond considerable works in course of construction at the time of my visit, and I went over them with Mr. Alfred Clayton, the City Surveyor.

I examined the outfalls of all these sewers, and found that the liquid being discharged was to all appearance quite as offensive and polluted a compound as the sewage of a fully water closeted town.
