Unique IDA-00308131SeriesLetters Received, 1843-1899 [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 14th February 1882 and 28th February 1882Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionMemo. Richard Seymour, Inspector of Nuisances. Encloses a copy of a letter sent by him to the House Committee of the Sydney Infirmary regarding defective drainage. In company with Dr Cox, he has examined the drains of the temporary buildings and found that the water closets of the Erysipelas and Fever Wards are connected with a pipe drain near the edge of the road in the Domain and running parallel with the boundary wall. The pipes are not trapped, and between Richmond Terrace and the MInt there are four gully shafts where the effluvia escapes into the open air, and foul gases driven back into the building by the rise of the tide at Woolloomooloo Bay. This nuisance should be abated immediately by the construction of proper drain pipes. There is a notation that a copy is to be forwarded to the Government.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
