have told us, Inspector has reported it, and it has gone up to the Sanitary Roard, and proceedings have been taken, and a sumors issued, when that waste pipe has heen cleared

for days and days before?

and it has not been clear. The Senior

I cannot swear that I have seen a particular case in

point.

But such a thing is possible?

A. Yes, and there is another way it is awkward for a

Sanitary Inspector in this respect. It is that the waste pipes have no grating on kitchen floors. We will say I nerve a notice for a choked waɛte pipe. They might send along people the following day, and get it cleared. That leaves another 24 hours clear, after it has heen cleared. At the expiration of the 48 hours, the Inspector goes again, and it may be choked again. Two or three cases that way have occurred, but I could not tell you where they were, because the contractor

has told me he has cleared them.

You mean to say that in the event of the man being 14357 prosecuted, he says "I did clear the pipe", and when Inspector says "I found it choked" they are both

telling the truth ?

A.

Yes.

And the man who has been fined feels `aggrieved, and he

does not understand he had it choked a second time, is

that so?

A

That is so.

Are you speaking of the pipes on the ground floor, or

upper floor ↑

The upper storeys generally, because there is too much pressure on the bottom to get it choked.

19.354 Now, have you not seen mahy times where the landlord has repaired a grating,” and it has been broken again

in a few hours ?
