THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY.

claims upon the ratemers, but the audios was seeded
by • large majority. fit se who were adverse to it Laving
burs* testimony themselves to the high merits of the chief
clerk.
Mr. throw, the medical officer of health, then rose and
read a document et great length relative to the sanitary
rate of the city of London. Ilia remarks come under the
following Artie, via.—
" I Defective house drainage.
11. Incomplete and insufficient water supply.
111. Offensive or iojertuus trades and occupation,.
IV. Intramural berials.
" V. Mend insusceptible of unstiletion, and absolutely
unit for habitation.
VI. The permed habits of the lowest elesees,and the in-
fluence of destitution in iricreadas their modality.
Is the consideration of these several topics Mr. (limos
pee a number of important facts, seised duties hie • epee
rinse as officer of health of the city. Is speaking of &eng-
age he said :
A most important eistideratmes is esasezkos with
the sewerage of the city is that, it porible, some more per-
feet sys° an of trapping should be devised. sr that, is some
way or other, the sewed should be ventilated effectively sad
inoffensively. At pewee there we frequent completed et

and it will be obvious Joyous. bon. wart that all which I have
urged on the subject of enapool ezhalatioas sort apply

meats °effective trapping are slur* trop, table ; bet, Ibe
ve that when the water supply of the city savory largely in-
creased, washing the drains amply sad incessantly, the evil
eomplained of will undergo a sensible diminution. So leg
as I ran judge, the only complete sad total ears would llelb•
Use is toe adoption of some system, including the following
pvia's as its eassatials—via., that house-drainage shall be
separate from stmerdrainage, the former having to itself a I
arise of smaller aponduits ; that thee* shall be closed from
their oriels to their mitten, presenting no stellyholes what-
ever; and that their gaseous contents shall be withdrew'
Item them by stestios, or impelled by pressure, and be
made to undergo emsbuitios eg other dimities' change, ren- I
devise them fanoceous. I would venture eves now to sug-
gest that say edeatifie scheme peirmertiag to amomplish the
object last indi_sted would in a very high degree ripostes
the ecouideraties and eseeeregemeat of your honourable
mere.
Os the subject of water-supply Mr. Biro n says:
" The following are the chief conditions in respect of
water supply, which peremptorily n quire to be fr filled :
1. that every house should be separately supplied with
water, and that when the house is a lodging-house, or
where the several floors are let as Separate tenements, the
sup: ly of water should intend to each inhabited tsar.
" 2 That every privy should have a supply of water ap-
plicable as often as it may be required, Lad sufficient in !
volume mediae at each application a thorough flushing sod
penile aim of the discharge pipe of the privy.
tt 3. That is every c mitt, at the point remotest from the
sewer iodine, there should be a stand cock for the cleansing
of the court ; and
4. That at all these points there should always and un-
interruptedly be a suffici,ncy of water to fulfil all reasonable
requirements of the population.
Now, if my statements are accurate with regard to the
imp,rfeet manner in which thousands participate in the
dieuriew ion of water, even for their personal neecesaities k if
my statements are again accurate with respect to house drain-
age, and to the immense increase of water distribution which
must accompany any improvement in this reerreet—and I am
quite prepared, if seersary, to adduce ample evidence on
these y,thiners; if, eosin, it be considered that the appreciation
of water by the multitude, who have so long suffered from
lark of it, lead to a vast augmentation of its domestic we
then, I apprehend, it cannot be doubted that the subject of
water supply to the City is one that requires to be looked at
elmort as though it were now broached for the first time.
These imp dant conditions, which I have jdat enume.
rated as urgently requiring fulfilment, may certainly be
acoomplieheid so tar as mechanical construction is concerned
in • Wier of two ways. It would be possible, no doubt, in
further compliance with the principle of intermittent supply,
to furnish every teeniest in the City with a cistern of pro-
per dimensions, and wch its usual appurtenances of nail.
cock, waste-pipe, fie. ; but this, I seed hardly say, would
he a moods involviag • vast expenditure of stoney, and
hardly to be recommend. d on the mere ground of eon.
formity eith'what has hitherto been done in the matter.
It would be possible, on 'he other hand, to convert the whole
watt r supply of the city into a system of uninterrupted no-
el., and to coutruct all new worts in conformity with this
system.
1 beg to suggest that the choice between these
alternatives is one of immense an I very urgent import-
&nee to the sanitary welter* of the city; and I would
earnestly et-teased it to the best consideration of your
honourable court.
The system of a continued supply is now no longer a
novelty. In Philadelphia, in New York, in Nottingham, in
Preston, in Glaegow, in Newcastle, in Britt I, and in various
other pleas tni- system has been adopted; its practicability
and ire irlyantagie have bees amply demonstrated. Five
years it when evidence on the subject was gives be
fore the House of Commons, it appeared that in the city and
suburbs nt Philadelehia 25,816 houses were suppiied at an
avenue ere of five dollars per house; that in Preston more
then 6,000 houses wire supi lied continually at high pres-
sure, end that the cempaoy was increasing its tenants at
the Tete or 400 annually • that in Nottingham about
8 000 noises, containing a population of 36,000 permits, were
supplied in the same manner ; and in respect of many other
towns, public experience has been equally extensive and
sat Weep ory. Above a month ago the sanitary committee of
the last mentioned tows published what I may call a report
of congratulation on their treedem from cholera, which had
visited the town with great sev-riiy in 1832. They detailed
the measures by which Nottingham has been rendered a
healthy town, and the first item in that enusieratioe stands
these ' An unlimited supply of wholesome filtered water,
f mud by day and night, at high pressure, through all the
streets to the tope of almost all the houses, at a wet. for the
dwelt see of the poor, of shout five farthings per week.'
On the relative merits or demerits or the two competing
Systeme of supply, I have only to speak so far as their adap
*sties to sanitary purposes is concerned. In this respect I
have no hunted= is saying that the system of coalesce
hie-maitre •tipply is immeasurably superior to its rival ;
so sup Vier, that saw competent engineering authorities
should decide on id poetical inapplicability to the city of
LoodA, I would glumly recommend its adoption as the
Only else, in my judge's', by which the growing neesmities
of the population ass be fully and effectively satisfied.
