Letter: William Day Pyrmont, requesting exemption from sewerage rates for his Sussex St property

Description

Unique IDA-00308529SeriesLetters Received, 1843-1899 [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 28th June 1882 and 28th July 1882Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionLetter: William Day Pyrmont, requesting exemption from sewerage rates for his Sussex St property Day Terrace, stating he put in a drain in 1848 later used by City Council for drainage into Darling Harbor which caused silting problems he paid to clear, and Ald Raphael's and other properties have used this drain against his wishes, without compensation. (Note: see 1207. Wm Day Exemption from Sewer rates. Mr Day's statement as to his having laid the sewer in question to the waters of the harbor long ago is probably quite correct and also that is was utilized by the Council for discharging gullies, but since then a considerable area of land has been reclaimed and the drain extended by the Council across Sussex St and the sewerage reserve and another pipe was laid along Sussex Street within the legal distance of his property. It is my duty to point out to the Council that this case will rule several others claiming exemption as although some other cases have not been so costly as Mr Day's; they have in principle connected with the harbor and subsequently through the reclamation and laying sewers become liable for rates: JTJ. See Engineers report 18 July 1882 - 1207. 28/7/82 reply) LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
