exposed. This deposit can be with ease scraped off the
outsides of the pipes, and is found, on examination, to
consist of skin scale3, dirt, soap, &c. This deposit is
allowed to remain until the next bathing day (an interval
of a week), during which time the room reverts to its
ordinary use as a lavatory, used frequently daily by the
boys—a condition of things more extraordinary and more
insanitary it would be difficult to conceive of, not to
mention find.
Further, the waste from a small bath is not properly
disconnected from the drain.
B. Girls' Side:—
(1) Dormitories—Provided with urinettes inefficiently and
insufficiently ventilated, thereby allowing offensive smells
to ventilate directly into the dormitories, which are,
judging by the number of beds, overcrowded.
(2) W.C. on top floor not properly ventilated.
(3) W.C.'s on ground floor-Manhole cover not properly
sealed.
(4) Lavatories—Insufficiently lighted and ventilated.
(5) Bath room—Linings of baths are loose, allowing of the
accumulating of offensive matters.
C. Officers' and Visitors' Rooms:—
(1) Visitors' (male) Lavatory—Soil pipe defective and not
properly ventilated, and the wash-out pan of w.c. cracked.
(2) Visitors' (female) Lavatory — Sink wastes not
trapped.
(3) Masters' Lavatory—Waste pipe from wash basin not
properly disconnected from drain.
D. Swimming Bath (erected 1890):—
Soil pipe rot properly ventilated; urinal waste both defective
and foul; w.c. and urinal not properly ventilated.
E. Basement:—
Subject to flooding, and a manhole cover (on drain) not
properly sealed.
F. Ashpit:—
Too much enclosed, and in a dark position, preventing the
dustmen from satisfactorily cleaning up after each removal
of dust.
