    16 Water Supply. Samples of the Water supplied by the Water Companies have been frequently analysed, and the examinations show that it has been of good quality. I have the satisfaction to report that the Lambeth Company have served notices on the owners and occupiers for a constant supply within the following area, viz.:— The London Road, from the Elephant and Castle northwards to St. George's Circus; thence along Westminster Bridge Road, as far as Waterloo Road, to the River Thames; the Thames eastward as far as Southwark Bridge Road; thence southwards along Southwark Bridge Road as far as Great Suffolk Street; both sides of Great Suffolk Street, and eastwards to Blackman Street and Newington Causeway. Gas Supply. I beg to report that the results of the examinations of Gas during the past year have been satisfactory. The average of all the observations gave an illuminating power equal to 16 sperm candles. The proportion of Ammonia has never reached the prescribed quantity of 2.5 grains for 100 cubic feet of Gas. Sulphuretted Hydrogen was never detected. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, ROBERT BIANCHI. 25, Stamford Street, S.E. 1881.
