The drains of 484 premises were tested with the smoke test (either
with rockets or the machine), 209 drains were found to be defective
(not gas tight), and in the remaining 275 instances no defects were
discovered.
The water test, where practicable, has been applied to all new
work.
Since my last report the drains of the undermentioned premises
were re-constructed and (where practicable) intercepted, ventilated,
and furnished with means of access for cleansing purposes in accordance
with the late Council's regulations and London County Council's
