Report of the Sanitary Surveyor for the Year 1899.
SANITARY BOARD OFFICES,
HONGKONG, 2nd April, 1900.
SIR, I have the honour to forward herewith my annual report for the year 1899.
NEW HOUSE DRAINS.
1. Plans have been deposited and passed by me during the year for the drainage of 416 houses. The plans of 463 houses were carried forward from 1898, making a total of 879 in hand during the
year.
2. The drainage of 395 has been completed and the plans for 25 houses have been cancelled during the year, leaving 464 carried forward to 1900.
3. In addition to the above, notices for repairs or additions to the drainage arrangements of 89 houses were carried forward from 1898 and new notices for 566 were received, making a total of 655 for the year. Of these, 459 have been completed, 13 have been cancelled, leaving 183 to be carried forward to 1900.
4. A summary of the above is appended in tables A. B. and C.
INSPECTION OF PRIVATE DRAINS.
5. The drains of 1,070 houses have been inspected. Of this number, 50 required re-constructing, 450 amending, and 570 were found to be in order.
Notices have been served on the owners of 500 houses to carry out the necessary work. Of this number, 324 have been complied with; 60 houses were the property of an owner, lately deceased and in consequence of his death the drainage has been delayed, and the remainder are due for completion by the end of this month. Subsoil water was found in 87 houses and notices were served on the owners to provide adequate subsoil drainage. This has been carried out in each case.
