Jardine & Co. has inspected the Infirmary and Foot Matron's room where the main objects in view are ample means of ventilation and good floor drainage, combined, in the first Miskin room, with abundance of light.

The rest of the hospital is fairly damaged, for by supply cisterns in the lower stories at the angles of the ward blocks and in other parts of the building: the capacity of the cisterns is calculated to allow for 35 days' supply at 85 gallons per head per diem for all occupants.

A liberal addition has been made to provide for any temporary condition interrupting the roof water supply.

The drainage is arranged on the separate system, the rain and storm water being carried to outlets in the north side of the site, the sewage to outfall on the south side. In this manner, the necessity for providing large sewer pipes for carrying off rain water is avoided, as well as the risk of pipes, wastes from cisterns, and connections with foul chambers. It becomes possible to lay down a sewerage pipe of dimensions sufficient to carry off the sewage in a way without the danger of stoppage of flow and consequent structural damage which arises from the use of pipes inadequately calculated.
