Description

Unique IDA-00299394SeriesLetters Received, 1843-1899 [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 13th August 1871 and 14th August 1871Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionLetter: Eliza Walis, Chippendale, reporting that water has been running in Kensidon [Kensington] St for 3 weeks and the only person, called Weymark, who checked it was drunk and abusive. (Note: 14/8/71 In compliance with your Worship's order I have the honor to report that I have not received any reports of waste of water in the street mentioned since the 29th July which was reported by Mr Seymour's men - I inspected the prremises myself and found the pipe broken in the yard and gave them notice to get it repaired. Reinspected it on the 31st and found that the pipe was cut off and hammered up. In reference to the complaint against Weymark for being beastly drunk and abusing the women last week it is false, for he was with me every day we were inspecting the North end of the City. And I beg also to state to your Worship a more sober and industrious man there is not on the works - I have always found him very careful and attentive On several occasions he has been out as late as 9 o'clock at night shutting off leaks were they have been bad - I went on Saturday and inspected the greater part of Kensington St and could not find the waste complained of.
