Description

Unique IDA-00288682SeriesLetters Received [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 30th January 1857 and 11th February 1857Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionMemo: Mr Wilson, Inspector of Water Works requesting an overseer for Lachlan Swamp, Tunnel, etc. as the late overseer, Todd, has been transferred to the Sewerage section. The Engine Drivers now doing this job do not live on site and cannot track and regulate the quantity of flow, etc. As it would be easy to deprive the City of water from the Swamp he requests an immediate appointment to live on site. [Note: 30/1/57 Refer to Engineer. Todd was placed at the swamp for the sole purpose of seeing that the temporary men engaged there (40 or 50) in ... were properly occupied during Mr Ramsay's occasional absence; it formed no part of his duty to regulate the supply of water - when the number of workmen were no longer required and dismissed - Mr Todd was removed also and the same people who ... regulated the supply in Mr Ramsay's temporary absence, previously, do so now - and they live much nearer to the tunnel than Mr Ramsay ever did or Mr Todd either - When Mr Todd on one occasion took upon himself to interfere with the water at Lachlan your Board received a report quite as inconsistent and inconsiderate as the present. Mr Ramsay repeatedly visits the tunnel as heretofore and the swamp also and I am frequently there myself - Men will be required in a few days to open the trenches if we have no rainfall and then I shall propose to your Board the placing an overseer at the swamp; EB, 5/2/57. 11/2/57] LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
