in and around the metropolis should be coordinated andplanned. The report also made proposals for the treatmentof sewage in ten or fewer centralised disposal works dis-tributed throughout Greater London, and sited with aview to possible ultimate conveyance of the sewage toDungeness, there to be discharged into the sea togetherwith the rest of London’s sewage. Colonel Butler, onthe other hand, contended that the whole of the sewageof Greater London should be brought as originally intendedinto the main drainage system of the metropolis whichalready dealt with about three-quarters of the total andthat this sewage should all be conveyed to the lower

estuary below the proposed barrage and, after adequatetreatment, there discharged. A pure Thames above thebarrage would thus be ensured, while the condition ofthe estuarial waters below it would be improved beyondcomparison.County Hospital, FarnboroughKent County council is going to spend over 69,000
