‘Dear Sir, The Board of Health are about to lay down sewerage pipes from Pakenhill to the Tanks and will have to cross the canal just above the bridge at the gasworks. I am desired to apply to the Company for permission to make the crossing in question.

It is proposed to do the work when the water is let out of the canal for repairs. ‘
Permission given upon the conditions that there be no obstructions or damage to the navigation in laying the pipe, or otherwise and that all works be done as to time, manner and in all respects altogether to the satisfaction and approval of the Company’s surveyor and that so long as the permission is continued the Board of Health pay for the same at the rate of £1 p.a.
