(xxvii.) Extension of 9" sewer and 15" storm-water drain along Victoria Road, Kennedy Town, (completed):
Cost of work, -$804.84
Less contributions by tenants of portions of reclamation, 334.00
$470.84
(xxviii.) Drain Connections and other small items, (completed):
Cost of work, -$5,501.27
Less contributions by various Lessees, 1,162.35
$4,338.92
1913 Estimates, -$18,600.00
1913 Expenditure, $18,702.72
Item (i). This work was described in the Annual Report for year 1912.
Item (ii). It was found that the invert and vertical shaft of the storm-water culvert forming a continuation of the nullah west of I.L. 703, Robinson Road, where it crosses Caine Road, near the site of the old No. 2 Tank, had collapsed and, as it was found that the culvert pursued a very circuitous route, which was likely to cause trouble in various ways, it was considered advisable to reconstruct a portion of it on a new and improved line. Besides improving its course, the culvert was removed from a site upon which it is proposed to erect quarters for Married Police Officers.
Item (iii). It was considered advisable to treat the effluent from the Craigmin Road sewer before discharging it into the Aberdeen Valley and arrangements for this were made by converting a filter bed which formerly existed at this point into a settling tank and by constructing two small percolating filter beds.
Item (iv). A number of old house drains of a primitive description between S.I.L.'s 126 and 131, Shaukiwan, which formerly discharged on to the foreshore, were relaid with proper pipes, a 12" earthenware pipe sewer being laid along a roadway parallel with the main road from a temporary outfall near S.I.L. 131 to connect with the existing 9" and 6" sewers discharging into the nullah near S.I.L. 126.
Item (v). An extension of the sewer was required from near I.L. 1880, Bonham Road, to I.L. 1874, Hatton Road, to take the drainage from the Hostel built by the London Mission. The work consisted of the laying of 6" earthenware pipes, with manholes where necessary. In accordance with the conditions of sale for I.L. 1874, a contribution of two-thirds of the cost of the work was made by the Mission.
