HOUSE DRAINAGE.
Providence Is Well Supplied with Up 10
Date Plumbing Arrangements.

4 lecture on House Damage" was de-
livered by John Pickering Putnam Of
Boston a fellow OF the American In
stitute OF Architects. in tho Memorial hall
at the School Of Design last evening.
The audience was composed OF members
OF the Rhode Island chapter American
Institute Of Architects the Rhode Island
Medical society and OF the carpenters,
and plumbers trades
Mr. Putnam advocated simplicity Of
plumbing installments, such as the venti-
latlng Of sewers by cutting out the main
house drain trap and using each soil
pipe n ventiating duct and the doing
away with the vented ''S' trap and the
substitution or the inverted pot" trap
were suggested.
Inspector OF Plumbing Bems took ex-
ception TO some OF Mr. Putnam's theories
and convinced him that this city is more
up 10 date than the Boston man had
supposed. During tho last ~ years but
few vent pipe "S' traps have been in
etalled I'm this city. and much OF the
plumbing here is OF the most up-to-date
pattern.
Mr.. Putnam contended that disease
germs would not fly through the air of
upwpT- DnT would stick 10 the moist
sides and the water, and that there was
consequently no danger " having each
house a ventilatng duct for the sewer.
Mr.. Benis thought that some or the
germs might manage 10 <snd their way
into houses n tho traps were omitted and
that it was worth while ~ guard against
this possibility
