88. Every owner of a building or premises wherein and whereon any horse or other beast of burden or draught or any cattle may be kept shall provide in connection with such building or premises a suitable receptacle for dung, manure, soil, filth, or other offensive or noxious matter which may from time to time be produced in the keeping of any such animal. The occupier of any such building or premises shall cause such premises to be kept in such a state in respect to cleanliness as not to be a nuisance or injurious to health, and shall cause all such dung, manure, or other offensive or noxious matter to be removed from time to time, as often as the quantity of the same so produced or accumulated shall amount to 1 cubic yard, or once at least in each week, should the quantity not amount in that time to 1 cubic yard.

89. Should any stable, whether existing at the coming into operation of this by-law, or erected hereafter, cause a nuisance or be injurious to health owing to its mode of construction or to the absence of any structural convenience therein or thereto, or by reason of the undue proximity of such stable to any adjoining premises, or by reason of any other matter or thing whatsoever, then and in every such case it shall be the duty of the owner of such stable, upon notice being served upon him by the Sanitary Inspector so to do, and within a time by such notice limited, to execute and do such works and things as may be necessary to abate such nuisance as may be specified in such notice.

NOTICES.

90. Any notice or other document which is hereby required to be given or sent by or on behalf of the Board, its Inspectors or agents, to any person shall be deemed to have been duly given or sent, if delivered to such person personally or to his attorney, solicitor, or agent, or left at his residence or place of business, or posted at a post-office in the city, addressed to such person as his or her last known place of abode, or to the last known place of abode of such attorney, solicitor or agent.

PENALTIES.

91. Every person who shall offend against any of the foregoing by-laws shall be liable for every such offence to a penalty of £5, and in the case of a continuing offence to a further penalty of £5 for each day after written notice of the offence from the Board.

If any work to which any of these by-laws relating to buildings, premises, sewers, or drains may apply be begun or done in contravention of any such by-law, the person by whom such work shall be so begun or done, by a notice in writing which shall be signed by the Sanitary Inspector, and shall be duly served upon or delivered to such person, shall be required on or before such day as shall be specified in such notice by a statement in writing under his hand or under the hand of an agent duly authorized in that behalf, and addressed to and duly served upon the Board, to show sufficient cause why such work shall not be removed, altered, or pulled down; or shall be required on such day and at such time and place as shall be specified in such notice to attend personally or by an agent duly authorized in that behalf before the Board and show sufficient cause why such work shall not be removed, altered, or pulled down.

SPECIFICATIONS.

DRAINAGE.

The manner in which the work is to be done in pipe-laying and the materials to be used for drainage-works under this part of this by-law shall be hereinafter set out in this specification, and any breach or non-observance of any requirements thereof shall be an offence.

The specification for such work and materials is as follows:—

Stoneware Pipes.—Stoneware or earthenware pipes shall be double glazed, socketed, truly cylindrical, and of uniform bore and thickness. They shall be thoroughly sound, well burnt and glazed, straight in line, and provided with sockets 2 in. deep and of a diameter to give at least ⅜ in. jointing space.

Cast-iron Pipes.—Cast-iron pipes shall be free from air blisters or holes, true in bore, thickness, and line, smooth inside, with strong and deep sockets with adequate jointing space, and coated inside and out with an approved preservative coating. The following weights will be accepted as standards for cast-iron drainage-pipes :—

4 in. diameter, 16 lb. per lineal foot.

5 in. diameter, 20 lb. per lineal foot.

6 in. diameter, 23½ lb. per lineal foot.

Other Pipes.—Pipes of other materials than stoneware or cast-iron for drainage-work shall be equal in quality and durability with them, and shall be approved by the Sanitary Inspector.

Taper Pipes.—Taper pipes shall in all cases be used where different sized pipes are connected.

Bends.—Bends used shall not have a less radius than five times the diameter of the drainpipe, and the forming of sweeps or changes of direction by cutting straight pipes will not be permitted. For vertical connections foot bends shall be used.

Junctions.—Junctions used shall be Y junctions.

Inspection-pipes.—Inspection-pipes shall have a rectangular opening at least 9 in. by 3½ in., this opening to be socketed to receive the cover. All inspection-openings in the drain or trap shall have covers or plugs set in with a bedding of clay and pointing of mortar, and shall be left watertight.

Chamber-walls.—The walls of chambers shall be built of brickwork 9 in. thick or concrete 6 in. thick. Brickwork shall be set in cement mortar, and the interior face properly pointed. Concrete work shall be plastered with cement mortar, finished smooth.

Step Irons.—Step irons shall be built in the walls as required for purpose of access.

Floors.—Floors of chambers with their channels shall be formed in concrete, cement plastered, or of stoneware channelling, combined with concrete benching, cement plastered. Branch channels shall be well curved in the direction of the flow, and shall join the main channel at least 2 in. above the invert of the main channel. All channels shall be of sufficient depth to prevent overflow of discharges, and have adequate fall. Benching shall be formed with an inclination to prevent the lodgment of solids thereon.

Covers.—Chamber-covers shall be of impervious materials, so formed as to be airtight, easy of removal, and of adequate strength to carry all traffic passing over them.

Size.—Chambers shall be of such dimensions as to give adequate space for inspection and cleaning purposes.

Trenches.—Trenches for pipes shall be cut straight and true, and shall be evenly graded before the pipes are laid. They shall be of such widths as to allow of the pipes being properly jointed all around, and to permit of a thorough inspection.

Where trenches are made in streets, the surface of the roadways and footpaths shall be left in a condition satisfactory to the Sanitary Inspector.

Pipe-laying.—The pipes shall be laid in the trenches so as to have a uniform and solid bearing throughout the length of the barrels. This may be effected by grooving the bottom of the trench to receive the sockets of the pipes or by bedding the pipes on a layer of concrete, well rammed thereunder. The pipes shall be laid straight and true to line and grade.

Pipe-jointing.—The spigots shall in every case be fitted close home in the socket, and the space between the spigot and the socket shall be concentric, and for stoneware pipes well filled with cement mortar and pointed off smoothly all round the joint to a suitable angle. Cast-iron pipe-joints shall be made by caulking with spunyarn and molten lead. The lead shall be at least 2 in. in depth.

Cleaning Pipes.—After each stoneware pipe is jointed the interior shall be thoroughly cleaned out before another length is laid by means of an approved badger.

Protection from Roots.—Where roots exist, their ingress into the pipes must be prevented by surrounding the joints with 3 in. of concrete.

Wet or Soft Ground.—In wet or soft ground a layer of concrete, broken metal, or gravel must be spread under the pipes, of sufficient thickness to insure a good and sound foundation.

Filling.—The filling round the pipes shall be carefully packed and consolidated. The filling over the pipes shall be in
