Sanitary Superintendence Regulations.

These Regulations provide rules for the construction and maintenance of latrines and cesspits and deposit human faeces. It that it shall not be a breach of these Regulations if a person not within easy distance of any such sanitary convenience deposits human faeces in a place at least 100 yards from any human habitation, highway, path, well, stream bed, cistern or place frequented by human beings. No cesspit shall be constructed until the position for it is fixed by an authorized officer of the Board of Health. Where cesspit latrines are built on land having a fall, a level site shall be excavated on which to erect the latrine, and the earth excavated shall be used to form a parapet at least one foot high on the slope above the latrine in order to divert storm water past the latrine and prevent flooding of the cesspit.
