The building bye-laws are being well observed in most
cases, but it is to be regretted that up to the present time
the Local Government Board have refused to adopt the
more stringent clauses relative to sanitary work which were
sent them for their approval.
The improved system of sanitation is now being
gradually adopted in houses built prior to the passing of
the present bye-laws, but the occasional inspection and
cleansing of traps connected with house drainage is a
matter much neglected, and frequently leads to difficulties.
