    channels, open or closed, intended to Ciirry off the superfluous moistui'e, ground or surt'iice water, storm waters, and waters used in the irrigation ol land, but rarely if ever occurs in this sense in sanitary law. A sewer is a public drain, common to a number of separate houses or premises, the drainage from whicli it receives, and is vested in the Local Authority. The distinction is exjjressed in the phrases, a private drain and a public sewer. Sewerage is tlie construction of, or collectively the system of, sewers ; sewage is the liquid conveyed by sewers. Private improvements are nowhere defined, save as implied in § 213 of the p.n.A. They are works executed bytheL.A. for the sole benefit of afew owners, from wliom the expenses are recovered by a special rate, for whicli they are assessed according to the rateable values of tlieir respective pro- perties, or in the case of paving, of their several frontages. The making of new streets and paving of the footways is in tlie first instance a P.I.E., but after notice given, tlie street is subsequently dedicated or taken over by the L. A., unless a majority of tlie OAvners object, preferring to retain control over it as a private road, tliongh with the burden of its maintenance as a perpetual P.I.E. Contributory places are in like manner not ex]dicitly defined, but [p.H.A. § 229] denote tlie permanent or provisional division's of a Rural Sanitary District, wliich may be separately assessed to contribute to the cost of works (usually sewerage), undertaken by the L. A., wholly or mainly for their benefit, but which are vested in the L.A., and may be subsequently maintained from the general rate. 1 BATEMENT. Sec Nuisance ii- Accommodation and Lodging, proper.
