Report is temporarily suspended owing to the wet season, but it
will be resumed when circumstances, with better weather, will
permit, it is however satisfactory to state that as far as the repairs
have gone at present, they do not present any further special cause
for apprehensi n.
All other local main sewers vested in the Vestry are in
thorough repair and working efficiently.
HOUSE DRAINAGE.
196 applications have been received for the drainage of 501
houses into the sewers, and the works in connection therewith
have been carried out under inspection.
DISINFECTING.
Your Committee being engaged, assisted by their Sanitary
Inspectors, in aiding the public to disinfect sick rooms, also the
clothing, bedding, &c., in cases of infectious diseases, it was
considered expedient to provide a specially suitable van to reconvey,
after disinfecting, the articles previously removed from
the infected houses. This van has been provided, is now in use,
and is giving much satisfaction.
