t)iher defects, straight, and well burnt. No square junctions will be allowed. All
drain pipes to be jointed in neat Portland cement, and carefully wiped inside.
Every facility must be afforded to the architect, or his representative, for inspection
during the laying of the pipes. The drains are to be tested in lengths as the
work proceeds, in any manner the architect may approve. The builder must pro-
cure an intelligent bricklayer, or other man to be approved by the architect, to
lay the drains and build the inspection chamber.

stone cover, 4 inches under ground.
Provide and fix in yard 11^-inch square trapped y;;^/// and dished iron grating, with

pipes, and finish with an easy bend to receive the rain-water pipe.
Provide and fix an 8-ineh by 8-inch trapped gully, with inlet on two sides for bath
and lavatory wastes, and connect from gully to soil drain, as shown.
Continue the 6-inch soil draia from inspection chamber to side of house, as shown
;

A\vtc. If local board will not allow storm-water in the soil drain, a 6- inch storm-
water drain must be laid to take all rain-water from roofs and sui-face of ground.
Connect with a 4-inch branch from rain-water pipe at end of stable, and to join the
0-inch drain from stable jusi below the gully. This drain must not have any trap
in it, as it is required to ventilate this branch.
If any deviation be made from the course marked on the drain plan, the same must

office.
