Opening up of Drains under Section 41 of the Public Health
Act, 1875, and Amending Acts.—As a result of the application of
the smoke or chemical tests, application was made to the Local
Authority with respect to the opening up of drains at three
houses, but it was found unnecessary to exercise the powers
granted, as in each case the owner's builder exposed the drains
and afterwards effected the necessary repairs or renewals.
House Drainage.—The drainage systems and sanitary
arrangements of 17 houses have been entirely reconstructed,
extensive amendments or repairs were carried out at 62 houses,
and at 21 houses the drainage systems have been made watertight
by the patent internal process.
