be abolished. The gratings over the drains, just the

same. From the moment you put a new grating on,

something chokes it, and the tenant gets a bamboo, and breaks it. Therefore, it is no use. You cant have polio e

standing there all the time, to prevent the tenant

breaking the gratings. You had better abolish them. You mean to say, you had better allow all these things

to go through the drain, all these things that choke

the gratings ?

What I am referring to is the grating in the mil of a

house, which goes into an open gutter outside.

If you say these gratings are not necessary, you mean (8053′′,

that we have to allow all this solid matter to go dom

into the drains, that is the alternative.

No, it eventually finds its way into a drain someshers

else, where you can sweep'awy the rubbish that is choking it. But in the house, they dont sweep it away. They simply put a başboo through it. It is stuff that never finds its way into the storm drain.

But wouldnt it ?

I am referring to the drain in the wall of a house.

Which runs ten or twelve fest, and meets the storm 18457

drain ?

Yes, or it meets another drain in the street. They wont break that. They wont take a bamboo and jab it downwards but they will take a bamboo and jab it outwards.

18058

I take a different view. The one you speak of, Jabbing it downwards, – ny experience is that that geta ahoked by stuff getting in to it, and the ignorant coolie thinks it will go dom, but it is the shape of the letter 8, and he knocks the bottom out of it.
