expert inspector OF plumbing. and re-
quire inspection by him OF every Job

and ali public Institutions n privete
boarding schools n other establish
mencs with plumbing should require q
similar inspection. Wells near sewers
or any accumulation OF filth. especially
OF human origin. are dangerous. Guard
