In December, 1908, the Medical Officer of Health presented
the-following report to the Health Committee:—
INTERCEPTING TRAPS.
For some years past there has been a growing opinion
amongst Sanitary Engineers and Surveyors in favour of abolishing
the intercepting trap between house drains and sewers,
and at the present day, the majority of Sanitary Engineers and
Surveyors are unanimously in favour of such abolition provided
the change can be brought about quickly and the condition of
the sewers does not prohibit such a procedure.
