CONSTRUCTION OF VAULTS.
The following regulations have been made in regard to
the construction of vaults under footways:—
1. That plans and sections of proposed vaults be submitted and
deposited with the Vestry.
2. That no deviation of such plan as sanctioned be made during
the execution of the work without the consent of the Vestry.
3. That all walls and arches be at least one brick, or nine inches
thick.
4. That the space from the upper surface of the pavement to
the outside of the vault be in no case less than three feet.
5. That no vault be allowed to project beyond the outside line of
kerb where the footway is ten feet or more in width, and in
no case shall the outside of the brickwork be carried nearer
than three feet six inches to the centre line of the carriageway.
SANITARY.
It will be seen on reference to the Report of the Medical
Officer of Health, commencing on page 181, and the appendices
thereto, that continuous attention has been paid to
the abatement and removal of nuisances. It is impossible,
however, to convey any accurate idea of the extent or value
of sanitary work by the mere tabulation of figures. The
most satisfactory proof of the value of this department of
the Vestry's work is afforded by the reduction in the rate
of mortality in the Parish since the creation of a sanitary
department some thirty-nine years since.
