The improvements effected particularly in the way of
drainage have been most important. As many as 53,751
feet of new sewers, and 413 drains connected with them,
have been completed in the year, and 300 cesspools have
been abolished.
I need scarcely add that the slaughter and cow-houses,
within the Sub-district, have received the usual attention.
As the results of these inspections have been communicated
to the Board in special reports, I need not allude to them
here, further than to observe that advice was tendered
where better regulations appeared to be desirable, and
that such advice was generally well received and promised
to be acted upon.
WILLIAM CONNOR,
Medical Officer of Health for the Sub-District of Batter ma.
