Improvements to Dwelling Houses, Defective
House Drains Relaid, properly Trapped and
Ventilated.
During the year 120 defective house drains
have been entirely re-laid and properly trapped,
these cases generally include the amendment of
every defect in drainage that can be discovered on
the premises.
Every opportunity is taken to secure the
affixing of ventilating shafts with proper air
inlets and intercepting traps where none have
previously existed. In every instance where the
drain passed under any part of the dwelling strong
cast-iron pipes coated with Dr. Angus Smith's
solution and surrounded with six inches of concrete
have been laid.
