Letter from Joseph Slevin to the Longford Urban District Council, 4 July 1916
1
Town Surveyor Reported Mr. Chairman & Gentlemen As requested I inspected the ruins
in
Ballymacormick graveyard and I consider it
would take £18 to repair it. We have had considerable trouble from time
to time claiming the drain pipe at the back of
your houses on St. Nicls Road. I asked on a
previous occasion to have the tenants noticed to
be particular as to what they put into it. I had
to get a new sink trap to replace one taken away
and slates and ridge tiles have been broken on some
of the privies. Dr Mayne reported a case of
fever on 8th Joseph's Road. The family have been
isolated and the place disinfected. Your obdt Servant Joseph Slevin 4th July 1916
