Dry earth is used in the closets, which are cleaned out daily, the night-soil and rubbish being carried to some pits situate about 100 yards in a N.W. direction from the house. These pits were very offensive, and would be greatly improved by having the rubbish, &c., covered over by a layer of dry earth daily. The kitchen drainage trickles down on to the southern slope of the hill in the direction of the Reservoir, at the rear of the premises, especially at the back of the bathrooms.
7. Mr.......'s House.
Dry earth is used and the night-soil is taken away daily and thrown into a pit about 200 yards from the house, S.W. The rubbish is also carried there and in the same direction, and about 100 yards from the house there is a heap of ashes lying at the foot of some rocks. The drainage flows in the same direction, but the drains do not extend beyond the boundary walls of the grounds. The side of the hill in which the rubbish, night-soil, &c., are buried overhangs the ravine which is above the Reservoir. Water for use is carried from the well below the Austin Arms.
8. No. 6 Police Station.
Lime is used in the latrine; the night-soil and rubbish are removed to a cesspit about 250 yards in a N.W. direction on the hillside overlooking Victoria. There is a concrete covered cesspit for the reception of cookhouse refuse, &c., which is emptied periodically, the contents being carried to the first mentioned cesspit. The surface drainage flows south towards the Reservoir. Water for use is carried from the well at the Austin Arms.
9. Mr.......'s Bungalow.
The dry earth system is not in use. The night-soil, &c., is removed by a coolie daily and is carried down into town in covered buckets; the dry rubbish is carried to a pit about 70 yards to the rear of the cookhouse. The drainage from the cookhouse, which is offensive, flows down in the direction of the Reservoir by two different channels. Water is obtained from a hillside stream and also from the Austin Arms' well.
10. Captain......'s House.
The night-soil is removed and disposed of in the same way as that from Mr. ......'s bungalow. The dry earth system is not in use. Dry rubbish is deposited in the pit belonging to Mr. ......'s bungalow, which is about equidistant from the two places, and a good distance from the road. The cookhouse drainage flows along the pathway E. for a distance of 50 or 60 yards; then passes underneath the Aberdeen Road and down towards the Reservoir. It looks very offensive, and must be really so in dry and hot weather.
11. Mr. .................'s Matshed.
The night-soil and rubbish are carried about 70 yards up the hillside and thrown into a hole. The dry earth system is not in use. House drainage flows down the hillside from the cookhouse into the valley of the Reservoir, but the nuisance is very little as yet, owing to the short occupancy of the house. Water is obtained from a hillside stream.
12. Colonel ......'s Matshed.
The night-soil and rubbish are thrown at random on the hillside at a distance of about 200 yards from the house, but, from the same cause as the foregoing, the nuisance is scarcely yet perceptible. The dry earth system is not in use. The cookhouse and stable are situate at the head of a marshy piece of ground about 30 or 40 yards from the matshed; the drainage and refuse from the cookhouse lie about, and the nuisance is considerable. Water is obtained from a stream on the hillside.
13. The......'s Bungalow.
The dry earth system is not in use; the night-soil is carried up on the hillside about 70 yards and thrown on the ground amongst some rocks on the hill slope draining into the Military water-supply. The cookhouse and surface drainage flow down the northern slope, and the dry rubbish is also thrown down the northern slope. Rain-water is caught in tanks and used for domestic purposes.
