In addition to drains proper there are the appurtenances
thereto—soil pans, traps, ventilating pipes, etc. It is most
important they should be efficiently attended to, and in this
connection it is with pleasure one recognises the advantage
derived from the Council's new Bye-laws, although it is to be
regretted that the Bye-laws do not give greater powers to deal
with the materials used in such things as eaves-gutters, rainwater
pipes, etc., in the construction of new property.
Dirty Premises.—It will be seen from the table of sanitary
defects that nuisances arising from internal dirty walls and
ceilings have been dealt with in 522 instances as compared
with 479 for the previous year. These figures reflect some
credit upon the property owners and occupiers, for if we consider
that about 5,000 premises have been inspected, the
figures represent that at about 10 per cent. of such premises
internal walls and ceilings were found to be dirty. It should also
be considered that the greater number of inspections have been
made in the districts comprising the smallest property.
The introduction of Gas into small properties by means of
penny-in-the-slot meters largely accelerates the blackening
of walls and ceilings; especially is this so where the rooms are
small and ceilings low.
