HOUSE DRAINAGE.
This subject continues to receive every attention

works have been strictly enforced. No drain is
allowed to be covered in until the same has been
inspected and certified.

drainage of 1,189 houses into the sewers, and the
works in connection therewith have received the
necessary inspection.
GULLY CLEANSING.
The Gullies throughout the parish have been
regularly emptied and cleansed by the men
employed for that purpose, and during the hot
summer months they were frequently deodorised
and disinfectants used.
The number of gullies cleansed and disinfected
has been 4,442.
