The drainage which serves the series of cellars at the base¬ ment of the West House, and which was not believed to convey sewage, but was recently found to do so, has been thoroughly renewed; the old drains have been taken up and earthenware and iron pipes substituted.

The case books are carefully and intelligently kept: and the registers were found correct and written up to date.
