Stables.

21. No person shall erect, or cause or allow to be erected, any stable nearer than fifteen feet from any house, or nearer than fifteen feet from any boundary of neighbouring property. The floor of any stable now or hereafter erected shall be constructed of concrete or other impervious material, and so constructed that there shall be no soakage of the soil with urine or drainage from the stable. No person shall allow an accumulation of animal excreta or manure to remain on any property so as to cause a nuisance.

Fowls.

22. No person shall keep fowls on any allotment of land of less than a quarter of an acre. All fowlhouses shall have concrete, tar asphalt, or other impervious floors, and the owner of a fowlhouse shall have the walls lime-washed at least once in every three months, and shall have the fowlhouse cleaned out at least once a week. No person shall erect any owlhouse, or cause any fowlhouse to be built or remain, nearer than twenty-five feet from any dwelling or from any boundary of any adjoining land.

House Drainage.

23. The owner of any house shall, when required by the Inspector of Nuisances, provide the same with suitable and sufficient drains to the satisfaction of the Inspector of Nuisances, to carry away the whole of the sewage and household waste water from the house, and provided with such grease-traps or other traps as the Inspector of Nuisances may require; and such drains shall be constructed of iron or earthenware glazed pipes of at least four inches in diameter, with sockets properly jointed and cemented, and laid underground at a gradient of not less than 1 in 40, and led into a pit constructed as follows: Such pit shall be at least eight feet deep, and must go down to a rock bottom or gravel strata, or such other strata as shall be approved of by the Inspector of Nuisances, and any rock bottom if not traversed with crevices shall be opened by blasting. The pit shall then be filled up with stones of not less than three inches in diameter to not less than eighteen inches of the lowest ground-level of the pit's mouth. The drain must be led twelve inches into this pit, so that the pipe-mouth discharges among the stones. The stones are to be covered flush up to the ground-surface all round with dry earth well pressed down. Such pit must be situated not less than twenty-five feet from any dwellinghouse.

General Drainage.

24. No person shall construct, or allow to remain, any drain for the carriage of sewage, except in accordance with the following provisions:—

(a.) In no case shall two or more premises be allowed to be drained by one common pipe unless a special permit has first been obtained from the Board.

(b.) No drain shall pass underneath any house, except where any other course is impracticable, and in such case the drain shall be of earthenware pipes with cemented joints and embedded in six inches of concrete, or cast-iron pipes with lead-caulked joints.

(c.) No right-angled junctions shall be permitted in any drain. All junctions shall be effected by means of Y junction pipes. No inlet, except such as may be necessary for a water-closet, shall be permitted within or beneath a building to any drain.

(d.) All sanitary fittings shall be placed with their outlets against or as near as possible to an external wall, and shall not be directly connected to any drain, but shall discharge (through waste-pipes where necessary) outside the building over a gully-trap, or over a watertight concrete channel of not more than six feet in length leading to a gully-trap.

Storm-water.

25. The owner of any land or building shall provide the same with suitable and sufficient drains to carry away the whole of the rainfall and surface-water to a point at least twenty-five feet from any house, and so that such water cannot flow, spread, or soak beneath any building.

Heavy Traffic and other By-laws.

1. The owner of any vehicle engaged in heavy traffic—that is to say, used in carting earth, stone, or scoria-ash—upon any of the roads within the boundaries of the Mount Wellington Road District, such vehicle having tires of a less width than four inches and a half shall, before using such roads for such traffic, apply to the Board for and obtain a license, and shall pay to the Board a yearly license fee of £5; provided, nevertheless, that the Board, at its discretion, and on application by the owner or driver of any vehicle engaged in heavy traffic—that is to say, used in carting earth, stone, or scoria-ash—such vehicle having wheels of a less width than four inches and a half, may permit the owner or driver of such a vehicle to use such vehicle for the purpose of carting earth, stone, or scoria-ash upon any of the roads in the district without having paid such license fee, upon payment to the said Board of the following charges:—

For every load carried on any one day upon or over any such road: One shilling.

If more than three loads are carried in any one vehicle in any one day upon or over any such road, then for that day: Three shillings.

Wherever any land or building is so used or occupied that in the usual course of business carried on thereat, or otherwise, such land or building is approached by vehicles led, driven, or propelled across any footpath or channel to an extent to cause or to be likely to cause injury to such footpath or channel, it shall be the duty of the owner of such land or building to provide and maintain a crossing over such footpath or channel for the use of such vehicles, such crossing to be constructed to the satisfaction of the Board.
