Explanatory Note.

(This Note is not part of the by-laws, but is intended to indicate their general purport).

At present by-law 5 of the Conservancy By-laws, 1960 imposes pertain obligations on the occupier of premises in which a watercloset or urinal a installed. Further examination of the provisions of that_by-law Indicates that two of those obligations, namely, the obligation to provide an adequate supply of water for flushing purposes and the obligation to keep mechanical ventilating systems in good working order, are not properly the liability of an occupier of premises as such, since the accupier may not be in a position to do what it necessary to meet his obligations. The revised_by-law 5. provides, therefore that the owner of the premises in which a watercloset or urinal is installed shall be responsible for the provision of a supply of water for Bushing purposes and that the person to whom a mechanical ventilating system belongs shall k responsible for keeping it in good working order,
