Routine Work of Male Inspectors.
During 1908, 709 houses have been re-drained throughout
or in part; and 480 plans (representing the 709 houses) have
been received in connection therewith. The drainage work
is carried out under the personal supervision of the Sanitary
Inspectors, the drains being in every case water-tested.
10117 tests (hydraulic, smoke or chemical) have been made
by the Sanitary Inspectors during 1908.
62 Water Certificates (representing 169 houses separate
or in blocks) have been issued during 1908, in accordance

in this connection, it is to be noted that a Water Certificate
is not granted until all the drainage work also is completed
satisfactorily.
