Meeting of Committee on drainage outlets, Feb. 25th. The Surveyor presented his report, showing shewing(sic) the fall from Rock a Nore to the outlet of the Commissioners of Levels at Bopeep. The Committee reported that the average fall in both districts, east and west, was 3 inches in 100 feet, and that the estimated cost would be about £10,000, Out of that sum the proportion for the Commissioners to pay would be about £3,250, which it was assumed would be repaid by them to the Local Board at 3 per cent. per annum for sinking fund, and 5 per cent. interest in the same way as the Local Board would pay their proportion, namely £6,750. At each end - viz., the new haven and the Rock a Nore, the committee proposed to construct a large iron tank to receive the drainage, the two tanks to discharge themselves at convenient periods of the tide by means of flood gates, the pipes from the tanks to be carried out to low-water mark under water. There would be overflow pipes to carry off the surplus water when the tanks were full, at the west end an inlet would be made to connect the water from the new haven, for flushing purposes.
Adjourned Meeting of tocal Board, in Committee, July 4th. The committee recommended carrying out the drainage from the Infirmary westward to Bopeep railway arch, and eastward to 200 feet further than the existing outfall, with iron deposit tanks at each end, at an estimated cost of £10,000, and generally to embrace the report of sub-committee made on the 25th of Feb, and that the St. Leonards Commissioners be met by the local Board with a view to arrange with them to pay their fair proportion for use of the western drain.
