I. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
(a). Construction.

pervious material, e.g., with (a) granite plaster, (b) parian
cement, (c) well-fitting match-boarding properly painted or
varnished, or (d) some other equally efficient material.
(6) Drains : To be constructed of gas- and water-tight pipes and
joints when situated under the Bakehouse, and no gully to be
