The importance of this scheme is very great, and it is a
matter for congratulation that the situation has been so boldly
treated.

Drainage: Cesspools, &c.
As will be seen by reference to the table given on page 51,
Appendix C., in several instances defective drains have been reconstructed
or amended during 1905.
The subject of cesspools, earthclosets and ashpits has been
again considered (cf., reports 1902—4) and the proposed bye-laws
set out below have received the provisional assent of the Local
Government Board and will shortly come into operation.
