Wed 3 Nov 1909
To County Surveyor (E S Sinnott)
Gloucester
In reply to your letter of 4 Sep, the need for dredging between Ryeford and Eastington was due to road drift from the public highway and the County Council is responsible. In a previous similar case in Stonehouse the Council Surveyor had the deposits removed at no expense to the Canal Co. The Committee have instructed me to return the enclosed dredging account for £7.17.6 for which the County Council are legally liable. [See p55]
