The drains at the other private school have
not been tested and examined, the owner having
refused permission. Proceedings under the
Public Health Acts were threatened, and the
owner subsequently agreed to the drains being
tested during the coming Easter vacation.
Apart from this school, I am now able to
report that the drains and sanitary fittings
belonging to all the private schools in the district
are in a thoroughly satisfactory sanitary condition.
