REVOCATION OF ORDER
OWNERS OF HOUSES TO CONFORM
TO PLUMBING REGULATIONS.

The Commissioners have decided to re-
woke their order Of June II, 1897, concern
Ing sewer and water service for old or d.
lapidated frame or brick dwellings, which
permitted two adjoining houses to use the
same sewer and water service, and in the
future they will compel all such houses to
be connected according to the plumbing
regulations, with separate sewer and water
service.
The order Of 1897 was issued by the Com
missioners as privilege. It was intended
to lessen the expense Of connecting two
very old houses with sewer and water IA
cilities, as was required by the then new
plumbing regulations, and 1t was assumed
by the Commissioners that such houses
would soon be removed,\ the connection
would be temporary, and that they could
well afford to extend the privilege. Ac-
cOrding to officials of the water and plumb
ing departments the privilege has been
abused, and this consideration Of the Com
missioners has been taken advantage of.
and 1t was because OF recommendations
from these officials that the Commissioners
decided to revoke the order and make the
premises in question conform to the regu-
lations In the same manner as In all other
private residences.
Statement by Inspector Davis.
Henry B. Davis, inspector of plumbing, in
reporting to the Commissioners upon this
condition emphasized the abuse of this
privilege. He said the assumption being
that the houses would soon be removed and
that the connections would be but tempo
rary has not been verified, and in most in
stances the expense of connecting the
houses with sewer and water has led to
permits being obtained for repairing and
perpetuating these structures.
Mr.. Davis says: las the order Of the
Commissioners was to allow very old or
dtlapidated dwellings to be SO connected,
and since the building regulations prohibit
repairs to old buildings deprecated more
than 80 per cent, ana the board for the
condemnation Of insanitary buildings, con-
that they cannot be repaired, it appears to
me this order should be rescinded for these
reasons, and because experience has shown
the sewer to which two houses are connect
ed Is frequently obstructed, and as the
houses have in many instances been sold to
different owners, is difficult to place the
responsibility for the stoppage, and leads
to controversy and delays when one of the
houses is removed to make way for modern
improvements, especially If the sewer to
which both houses are connected lays under
the proposed new buildings"
SnOwden Ashford, inspector of buildings,
spector of plumbing when the matter was
referred to him, as did George w. Wallace,
water registrar, and w. NJ. Mcfarland,
superintendent of the water department.
In his Endorsement, Mr.. Wallace said the
Importance of requiring each house to have
an independent service Is accentuated by
the installation Of meters.
