Folios 339-350. To: The General Board of Health. From: George Bailey, Clerk to the Luton Local Board, Luton [Bedfordshire]. Subject Matter: Letter referring to the consent given last year for a loan for an intercepting sewer at Luton, and the various charges that have been found necessary to make since the original estimate, owing to the immense volume of water and springs which has beleaguered the work in every direction, and the great expense of this which has incurred for the purchase of iron pipes, a steam engine, manual pumping, extra cement compensation etc., totalling a cost of £4774 11s 11d, Bailey now asks for sanction to borrow this sum. He encloses the surveyor's estimates for this work, which has been carried out under the supervision of Bazalgette, the eminent engineer, who has taken great interest in its progress. He also confirms that work is nearly complete. |
