Installation of Coo\ing Apparatus in Rooms Containing Water
Closets.
Instances of this very undesirable practice came to light especially
where the Landlord or principal tenant has had such work carried
out, usually by a private contractor.
The co-operation of the Electricity and Gas Authorities was
sought in the matter and a promise was obtained that no fresh installations
would be carried out and that every effort would be made
to remove those existing.
Such installations in private dwelling-houses contravene the local
Building Bye-laws and where possible, action is taken to secure
removal. .
