Legislation Needed to ‘Protect the Health of the Community. The following report of the Committee on House-Drainage of the Citizens’ Association has been approved by the Executive Committee and ordered to be published for the informacion ofthe members and the public: To the Exccutive Committee of the Citizens’ As- sociation of Chicayo: The Committee on House- Drainage, appointed by you, beg leayeto submit the fullowing report: The sunitury condition of houses is of vital importance, not only to the occupants, but to the entire community. The admission of poi- sonous gases into one house muy be the cause of anepidemic disease. In considering the ques- tions connected with house-druinage, thercfore, we have endeavored to regard them, not as they afect the interests of the individual household- eronly, but, ju a broader view, in their relations tothe health and gufety of the whole city. DANGERS OF MALARIA. Itis often said that there is uow a tendency to elaggurate the dangers from malariul poisous. ‘This is only partiuliy true. In spite or ull the dueussion of the subject, the greut mass of the Pevple ure still ignorant ‘of the extent of the dangers to which they are daily and hourly ex- Posed, and even the commonest methods of Prevention. It is desirable that the attention of the public shall be so thorougaly aruused to the iwportance of this subject that no one. will be content to live in a house until he has been con- ‘Vineed that it is in good sanitary condition. itis not tou much to say that a large majority of all the buildings in Chicago are now exposed to great risks from injurious gases. As we have shown that this is a inatter neurly concern- {ng the public health, we sbull first consider the Tenedies, and then. recommend that the adop~ Won of some of the simplest of them be made obtixatory by Iuw, and be enforecd by the ap- Pointment of a Sanitary: Inspector. CAUSES OF DANGER. pibere are three principal causes of danger: Fir. from decaying mutter about the premises, row durk damp, and unventilated cellars, and aa Uatly condition uf the bouse; but this doesnot Droperly cume within the scope of our investl- ftion.'

They cau be averted and the Sewerrgas rendered tirmless by the thurouzh pension of the drtinage system within the and of the main sewers.

This pipe, running throuzh the house, would generally create un upwerd draft. The perforated minbole covers would admit fresh uir to the sewers. Sometimes the action would be reversed: but at ull times, eitner through the maubole covers or through the open &.I-pipes, sewers would bave unobstructed connection with the atmosphere, and’ a circulation of air would be maintained in them which would very. probably keep thei free from polsonous gas ‘The objection which is commonly made zo this plan is that nu one is willing to have the ruses from the sewer pass through his house. We bi lieve this to be itn erroneons view of the matter. It is our belief that if every bouse in Chicago could be connected with the sewers in the man- ner described, the dunger to the entire commiu- nity from typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet- fever, and other zymotic diseases would be reatly lessened. Ivis certainly possible to protect individual houses against uses from the main sewer by 2 ventihuted trap on the house drain; but as sure- ly as the gases within the sewers of the city be- come injurious from the want of pure air, so surely will they find their way into houses which are not thoroughty protect And it may tioul- jy happen that the diseuses generated by tho Unventilated sewers will, through contagion, reach the occupants of the houses having tho best and most expensive system of sewers and plumbing. = We believe that the broad view is the true one; that what is best for the health of all people is best for the individual; and we therefore strong- ly recommend that in nll cases the house drains connect with sewers without a trap. ‘It remains for us to consider the dangers to be apprenended from the DRAINAGE SYSTEM WITHIN THE HOUSE. {t is now believed thut the air contained in the soil and waste pipes of 1 house is more foul and dangerous than thut of the muia sewers. Hence the necessity of disinfecting them by the adinis- sion of pure air; and, it possible, of creating a circulation of air through them." We must also prevent the access of ‘the air in these pipes to the house itself. ‘The tirst requisit is the use of a material which shall be impervious to water or gases: which shall resist ucids; which shall be too strong to be broken by a blow or pressure, and which shall huve as few joints as pussible. ‘Lead wns once almost universally used for soil and waste pipes; butit bas been nbandoned by the best plumbers. It is liable to corrosion by acids and alkulies; itisapt to say if not fully supported, and with a lurge vertical pipe it is yers dificult to support it well; und it may be gnawed by rats, or be perforated by a nail cnrelesly driven. Cast-iron. pipes not less than four inches in inside diameter and one-quarter inch fn thickness, conted with tur inside and outside, aud thoroughly leaded and calked ut the joluts, are the best and cheap- est, and are recommended for general use They should be tested before using. Wrought- jron pipe, coated with enamel or other sub- stance impervious to water.and acids, is per- baps equally good. but is more expeasive, and perhaps more fiable to rust, in spite of the enamel. ‘The nouse-drains are still commonly made of glazed tile, joined by cement. and laid under ground. These ure now regarded by the best authorities ag untit for the purpose. They are the cause of much of the trouble from sewer- yas. Good vitritied pipe.does not itself lenk, Hut the cement joints gre very apt to do so, even if undisturbed: and these joints are, from many eauses, lable to be broken, und then the sewage escapes from the drain and saturates fhe earth under the house.

Wwe recommend, therefore, that tile be abandoned for house-drains, and that the cast- fron soil-pipe described above be continued, of uniform size and without 2 trap, to the main sewer. The soil-pipe should. if possible, be ac- Gessitie for inspection througuout its entire fength and should be carried above the cellar Hoar where this is practicable. ‘The opening in the outer wallor foundation should be larger thea the eoil-pipe, to allow the house to settie without brexking the joints.

WATER-CLOSETS. The water-closet most generally used is the pan-closet. “This we cannot recominend. Probably no perfect water-closet has yet been devised, but the seii-Hushing bopper closet and several of the improved closets buve remedied some of the most dangerous defects of the pin- closets, and we recommend their use. In addi~ tion to the ventilation of the soil-pipe and the trap, it is advisable to run a pipe ora tin con- ductor from the seat of the closet to 1 ventilat- ing shaft or to a chimney. ‘This will tend to carry off the odors aud any gases which might escupe from the closet. ‘The custom of supply water-closets with water directly from the service-pipes may be dunger- ous, and bas been probibited by lnw in London since Isl. The danger {s from contamination of the drinking wnter, in consequence of the ocensional emptying of the pipes, or, more com- monly, from the small size of the main service~ pe, which fails to keep. the upper pipes of a house filled while water is being drawn on the Jower floors. AS the water leaves the pipes. foul air from the water-closet enters them, and is rapidly absorbed by the cold water as it tows buck into the pipes. ‘This is believed to be a cause of typhoid fever, Every water-closet, on the upper floors at Jeast, should, therefore, be supplied with water froma separate tank, through 2 pipe not less than one inch and a quarter in diameter, to in- sure rapid Hushing of the bow! and the trap. Every room containing 1 water-closet should be ventiluted by n flue, und should have direct communication with the outer air, either by a window or light shaft. TO INSURE COMPLETE VENTILATION. We have recommended that the soil pipe run from the sewer to the roof without trap, and that all traps to wuste and overtiow pipes be yentilated. ‘This system cun be improved, und n constant clreulation of air secured through ‘the pipes by au iron pipe connecting with the soil pipe neur the point where it pnsses through the outer wall, of uniform size with it, and running out aboye the roof. CATCH-BASINS. The Board of Public Works of Chicago now re- quires every householder to build und use a eateh-busin® into which kitchen-sinks must empty. They should be built outside of the house wherever this 1s possible, and should. be ventilated ‘by a four-inch pipe carried above the Foot. ‘Tho following is a brief SUMMARY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS made by your qommittee: 1. Concrete the ground under the entire build- ing. 2. Ventilate the main sewers by a perforated cover on every manhole. 3. Every house to have a cast-iron soil-pipe not less than four inches in diaineter and one- qqurter inch in thickness, tarred inside and out- side, running from sewer to roof, without x trap, accessible for inspection throughout its entire length, and with us great i fall as possible; the openings for waste und soil pipes iu the bouse walls to be larger than the pipes, to allow for settling. 4. Every sink, wash-basin, bath-tub, and water-closet (except the “trapless” closets) to be trapped. 5, Eyery trap to be ventilated from its highest pofat fntoa pipe running out above the roof and disconnected from the soil-pipe. 6. Joints in iron pipes to be lesded and cauik- ed, or rust joints. Joints between frou and lead pipes to be made with tinned-iron or brass ferules, soldered, 7. Cateh-busins to be built outside of the house wherever possible, and ventilated by a speciul pipe. 8, Water-closets to connect. with the outer air by a window or light shaft, and to havea ven- tiluting flue. 9. Avoid pan closets, and use hopper or im- proved closets. . 30, On the upper floors each water-closet to be flushed from & separate tank, through a pipe not less than one and one-quurter inch in diam et P Tl, Catch-basins to be periodically cleaned by the city uuthorities. SANITARY LEGISLATION. Itisthe custom of all cities to control, by municipal ordinance and by supervision, mat- ters affecting the public health. Nothing cun more properly come within the scope of munici- pal legislation than measures regutating bouse- drainage, in order to prevent, as far us possible, the generation and spread of infectious diseases. frisobvionsly necessary to make the precau- tions oblizatury upon all the people, us their ellicacy depends on the general use of them, and it is to the interest of all that they should be universally adopted. Your Committee, therefore, recommend that an ordinunce be passed by the Common Councit of Chicrgo embodying the most important of the foregoing recommendations, as follows: 7}. ‘That every house which shall be connected with the city sewers, after this ordinance goes into effect, shall have a continuous pipe of not jess tban four inches ineide dinmeter, running from the street sewer to at least two feet above the roof of the house, without any trap through- out its entire length: the opening at the house wall to be lnrger than the soil pipe. to allow for settling. As there may be sone who will prefer to. ‘trap on the bouse-drain or soil-pipe. this vent-pipe may ta that cause be mude inde- pendeut of the house drainage, and be enrried through the house without any opening into it. 2. Every sink, busin, bath-tub, and. water- closet (except the “trapless” closets) to be trapped, aud every trap to baveu vent-pipe fromi its hirhest point. 3. Joints in iron pipes to be leaded and calked orrust joints. Joints between iron and lend pipe to be made with tinned ‘iron or brass ferules. soldered. ‘4. Soil-pipes to be of iron. 5. All water-closets to be connected with the outer air by a window and ventilating-tive ort light shaft. ; 4, Sanitary Inspectors to be appointed, under the direction of rhe Heaith Commissioner, to en- force the observance of the foregoing provis- ions. Your Committée desire to draw the attention of the citizens of Chicago to another subject, atiled to bbuse druinuge. and perhaps not second to itin importance. ‘This is the VENTILATION AND HEATING OF HOUSES. Jn our cold and variable climate it is always something of x problem how to heat and venti- late our buildings, and yet there is very litte thought or study given to it. either by the owner of the bujlding or the architect. The desire to build a3 cheaply and to heat as chenply as possible. hns led to the adoption of bad inethods of heating, and of no methods at all of ventilation. Many of the throat diseases so common to Chicago are cxused by the over- beated and bad nirof our buildings; end iy of the mularin disenses. arising from sewer-gas auinitted into houses by defective plumbing, jnisht be avoided by thorouzh ventilation of the ouses. ‘The most common error is in using furnaces of too stnull a size, which have to be forced to a red heat in-the coldest’ weather, thus burning the wir and rendering it unfit to’ breathe, ‘This evilis inteusified by having the cold-air pipe and the cunductor pipes through the house of too sinall agize. ‘This method Is recommended by many architects and dealers in furnaces, to gratify the almost universal desire for economy. Lut it isa frise economy, for it fs injurious to henith and is destructive to furniture und walls, through the unnatural dryness of the air which it produces. y Your Committee would earnestly recommend the use of lurge furnaces, with ample supply of cold alr, and [arse conductor pipes throughout the house, so that the sir from the registers uced never be too warm to be inkaled with comfort. ‘Where it ix conveniont to use open fires, or to have open fire-places, even if no fires be mude in them, or itues opening at the floor, an outlet is provided for the cold air of ‘the room at the flour, 2 cireulanon of the air maintained, and good ventilation und a pure, wholesome ntmos- phere seenred. & ‘The cost of n building may be somewhat in- ereased by a thorough system of drainage and beating and ventilution. but it is surely better to ecotiomize in any otuer direction—in the size and ornamentation of our bouses, in the furni- ture, or the style of fiving—thin in those things which are essentins to the bexlth and lives of the occupants.

To sleep so light that Ishrank and stirred “Neath the creep of the window-lace ‘That dropped itsshadows uf phantom-ferns ‘Down on my upturned face. And all through the heart of my vagrant dreams Kippled the song of the bee, As be tumbled duwn in the open flowers With a buzz of evstasy. And out to the garden my dreaming sease Followed this Huttering bec, Where he ransacked the flowers, and stole their cells 5 Without lifting a latehet or key. And the soft roses rocked, ag he fitted away, ‘To the spring of bis wax-luden feet— ‘Then, ruftied und torn, cast their pink hearts ‘down, Despolled of their treasures sweet.
