        "content_text": "302\n\n296\n\nTHE SANITARY RECORD.\n\n(F) Power of Entry\nUnder sect. 102, Public Health Act, 1875, the local authority or any of its officers have power of entry to any premises to examine for nuisances, enforcing the smoke prevention provisions, or examine as to recurring nuisances.\n\nTo enter upon land (sect. 105, Public Health Act, 1875) for the purposes of making plans, surveying, measuring, levelling, keeping in repair or examining works, ascertain the course of sewers or drains, or ascertaining or fixing boundaries and many other purposes.\n\nQuestion 3.\nWhat are the chief principles to be observed in the sewerage of a town or district, and how would you proceed to determine the size and capacity of the outfall sewer? What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

At the meeting of the Bridgend Rural Sanitary Authority on the 4th inst., the question was discussed, and a resolution passed upholding a previous one in favour of the formation of the proposed district, as they 'saw no reason to change their opinion after hearing the objections raised at the recent Government Inquiry.'\n\nNOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nHaving for some time back been in the receipt of Queries appertaining strictly to sanitary work, and which it would be easy to answer, without having to refer our correspondents to competent professional advisers, we have opened a column in which to register such Queries and Replies thereto as can fairly be expected from us; and our subscribers and readers are invited to make such use of this column as will tend to benefit themselves and the community. Both Queries and Replies will, however, be subjected, if unnecessarily long, to a strict curtailment.\n\n205. TEST SOLUTIONS FOR WATER ANALYSIS.\n\nI should be much obliged if you would state where you would recommend me to get reliable test solutions for water analysis according to Wanklyn.\n\nR.M.O.H. [Messrs. Y. E. Becker & Co., 34 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, W.C., supply the solutions in a satisfactory state.—ED.]\n\n206. WATER SUPPLY.\n\nCan you recommend me any book that gives the average quantity of water used or required per head of population throughout the country?\n\nC. W. P.\n\nThe most reliable information as to the quantity of water which should preferably be allowed per head of population under varying conditions is to be found in Parkes' and De Chaumont's 'Practical Hygiene,' and it would, perhaps, be useless to seek elsewhere, as all the information upon this subject is brought down to a late date. Consult the Sixth Edition (1883) of the above work, pages 3 to 7. The publishers are Messrs. J. & A. Churchill, 11 New Burlington Street, London, W. (See also SANITARY RECORD, Aug. 16, 1886, page 91.) All engineers strive as much as possible to allow 30 gallons per head for domestic purposes, and in the work above mentioned this amount is thus distributed—Domestic supply (without bath or closets), 20 gallons; add for general baths, 4 gallons; water-closets, 6 gallons; unavoidable waste, 3 gallons—total, 33 gallons.—ED.]\n\n207. QUALIFICATIONS OF A CHIEF INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES.\n\nWhat do you consider the proper qualifications for a chief inspector of nuisances in a town of between 90,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, whose salary will be between £140 and £160 per annum? There will be several inspectors under him, and there is a medical officer of health who does not practise privately.\n\nALPHA.\n\nThis is not a question which lends itself to any such short answer as alone is possible for us in this corner of the RECORD. But our correspondent will find fully detailed remarks as to the qualifications for the post which he describes in the number for May 15, 1883, p. 510.]\n\nJEYES' PERFECT PURIFIER' is a disinfectant in fluid form of extraordinary efficacy. It is used in the Royal households and by Her Majesty's Government establishments, the Corporation of London, Smithfield and Billingsgate Markets, various steamship and railway companies, the principal hospitals, &c., and is authorised by the Board of Trade and the Indian Government. The testimonials which have been received bear the names among others of such unimpeachable authorities as Sir R. Rawlinson, C.B., C.E., Chief Sanitary Engineer of the Local Board, Home Office; Professor Wanklyn, M.R.C.S.; Dr. C. A. Cameron, Medical Officer of Health, Dublin; Mr. J. T. Dibdin, A.V.D., Cavalry Barracks, York; and Dr. Crookshank, Inspector-General of Prisons, Cairo. In addition to its powerful disinfecting properties, this compound possesses the recommendation that it is non-poisonous, non-corrosive, stainless in use, and cheap. The scientific mind will understand and appreciate this characteristic of the manufacture—that it prevents contagion by destroying its cause; it instantly removes bad smells; is an unfailing cure for eczema and other skin diseases, and is the best known insecticide.—Sold by all respectable Chemists' Stores, &c., in bottles at 6d. and 1s. and drums at 5s. per gallon.
