§ In answer to Sir B. HALL,
§ VISCOUNT MORPETHsaid, unless the House and Government should otherwise determine, the cost of the survey of the metropolis would he defrayed out of the sewer-rates imposed on the metropolis, it being in the opinion of the commissioners of sewers quite necessary for an effective system of drainage for the metropolis at large. He confidently expected, from the best information he could acquire, that the whole expense, including that of the triangulation and taking of a block-plan, would not exceed the amount of 26,000l.; but the whole cost for which the commissioners of sewers had hitherto made themselves liable was confined to that of triangulation, which would not exceed the sum of 4,000l.
