Required is every particular that can be furnished in relation to the water that flows in other directions than into the Bondi Sewer eg: 1) a large scale plan of the outlets by sewer and storm water channels at Cowper Wharf, including the Government system from the Domain down Lincoln Street; 2) nature and locality of all sites where flooding takes place in heavy rains, including Gays Lane, at back of the Blind Asylum, and the bottom of Bourke Street; 3) every inlet into the present sewers and storm water drains for the area that has to be considered. This information can be furnished by pencil lines on what are known as "trig" plans, without the unnecessary expense of drawing plans. This information must be supplied without delay, as I mean to deal immediately with the problem. City Surveyor's Department is to obtain whatever information the Government can supply in this matterLanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordNo
