Supervision. 32. The whole of the works in connection with the
drains shall be executed with the best materials and in the best and
most workmanlike manner, in accordance with the directions herein

works in connection therewith shall be covered in until it has been
inspected, tested with water, and approved by such officer of the
Vestry, and at least 24 hours' notice shall be given at the Surveyor's
Office by the person forming the drain, when the works are ready for
such Officer's inspection ; and if any drain is covered in without such

neglecting.
