There is only one method of preventing a liability for private premises of
this kind being thrown upon the public rates, namely, by making it compulsory
for the owner to provide and deposit with the Sanitary Authority plans of
the whole of the sub-divided premises, and of the whole of the drainage, and
that if not so deposited within three months of the sub-division taking place
and sanctioned by the Sanitary Authority, the Sanitary Authority to have the
power, if considered necessary, to compel the owner to put in separate drains
to the sewer. A communication was addressed to the London County Council
asking them to promote legislation to effect the object in view, and a communication
was addressed to the Metropolitan Borough Councils directing
their attention to the matter and asking them to support the action of the St.
Pancras Borough Council.
