498. Your mother and sisters complain that on the steps from the road to the house they have noticed a very objectionable odour, you are not aware of that?
A.-No, I am not aware of it.
[Dr. CANTLIE.-This is one of the houses we went over and we found at one parti- cular spot on the steps to the house there is a leakage we believe in the main sewer. The odour can be traced almost to a hole immediately over where the main sewer runs and the pressure of gas there must be enormous if the trap above is in working order. I know they complain of that very frequently.]
By the Chairman.
499. With reference to the sore throat, were there any other individuals in the household who suffered from sore throat.
