Prompt payment of subscriptions + will be much appreciated > ng your main street and certain side streets as samples, I that there were numerous installations by individual pro- owners, contrary to the provisions of the Health Act, notably section 4 of Schedule B, in that the effluents from septic tanks, kitchen sinks, etc., are being passed directly into the open ditches of your streets, and in some cases, directly and almost directly, into the tributaries of the small stream which flows down through the main part of the village. I beg to point out that effluent from septic tanks, kitchen sinks, etc., all comes under the general term of sewage, the discharge of which on to the surface of the ground or into ditches or streams, is a nuisarce within the meaning of the Act, and the abatement of such nuisance is a duty of the pro- perty owner who maintains it and enforceable upon the said owner by the procedure outlined under the sections of the Health Act, dealing with nuisances, as well as several other sections. I would point out that it is the duty of the M. 0. H. and the local Board of Health to take the steps required by the Health Act, sections 79 and 82, to secure the abatement of these nuis- ances, wherever they exist within your municipality. To this end, it would be necessary for you and your local Board of Health to conduct such an inspection of the municipality as shall reveal every installation of water borne sewage disposal on the premises, whether from water closet or from kitchen or other water borne waste, and whether it is passed into septic. tank or cess pool, and its disposal therefrom, or whether it is passed directly into ditches or streams, or upon the surface of the ground. This inspection should also take in any outdoor privies which may be found, and record the character of same. In this connection, I would point out that any privy which is so constructed or maintained that it is not fly proof nor cross-ventilated through screen openings both in the compartment below the seat and above the seat, is a nuis- ance within the meaning of- the Act. In the abatement of a nuisance which consists of the discharge of the effluent of a septic tank or overflow from a eess pool into the open, whether in public ditch or upon the surface of private 'property, the best means is to direct such overflow or effluent into a sufficient system of field tile properly laid at a distance of about one foot under ground. In specially favorable conditions, the effluent might be led into a leaching well under the surface of the ground. Such leaching wells may only be permitted where any possibility of any contamination of wells has been thoroughly guarded against. So far as I could learn on my inspection none of the numerous septic tanks, ete, -whi installed in your village has observed the requirement of Seetion 14 of Schedule B of the Act, with the exception of the installation at the school where the plan was laid before the Sanitary Engineering Division of the Depart- ment of Health when construction was under way and some ad- ditional precautions were taken to avoid any nuisance arising, the the Department reserving the right to require the employment of additional means should a nuisance be proven to arise. A sample of the effluent from their drain might be caught in one of the 'water sample bottles and submitted to the Provincial Laboratory for analysis. I regret that the habit of every man being a law on to himself in sanitary matters in Port Perry has been allowed to grow into such proportions as my partial inspection would show and which your complete inspection will undoubtedly confirm. It leaves you and your Board a task which is now of no small proportions. It will be necessary, however, for you to commence this work as soon as possible and follow it through to completion. Your survey will show the amount of work to be done by the owners and this survey may be either personal or by your sanitary inspector, if you are satisfied of his qualifications for the same. In your notices to the owners, following this survey, you and your Board will have to decide what is a reasonable time in which they should complete the work. They must of course, file with you their plans, and such plans must have your approval before the work is com- menced. It will quite possibly be necessary to impose a few fines where owners neglect to give effect to the notices received from yo u. All of which is respectfullly submitted. Yours sincerely, N. H.

Mr. Irvin was born at Newtonbrook, North York, nearly 84 years ago. . He was of United Empire Loyalist stock, the son of James and Margaret Irvin. He had always been engaged in the manufacture of wood pumps and had a wide reputation for dependable work- manship throughout the unusually large territory in and about Port Perry. He was a man untiring in- dustry and had stirling qualities. At the time of the great Port Perry fire in 1884, when the whole business portion of the town was destroyed, Mr. Irvin took an active part in re- construction. He devoted Himself wholeheartedly to his business and his home. In no small measure he con- tributed to the business success of the] town. He was a member of the United Church. Mr. Irvin married Catherine Me- Lean, of Prince Albert, who prede- ceased him some eighteen years ago. He is survived by four children and one grandson: Mrs. R. Milne, To- ronto, Mrs. H. M. Coates, Port Perry, Mrs. J. G. Turnbull, Winnipeg; Mr. Fred Irvin, Toronto; and a grandson, John Irvin Coates, Port Perry.

James Munro Mr. James Munro 6 Sonya, died on May 81st, 1931. He was the son of the late John Munro, and was born on the homestead on the 11th conces- sion of Reach Township. Mr. Munro spent most of his life on the home farm. He then moved to Manchester and ducted the store there. He was also Township Treas- urer. As township councillor and county councillor Mr. Munro was thoroughly well known and highly re- spected. For a couple of years deceased lived in retirement in Port Perry; but his interest in the farm was too strong to permit of idle time; and he bought] the Rundle homstead on the second concession of Brock, where he remain- ed until the time of his death. Mr. Munro married Margaret Fer- guson, who survives him, together with one son (Ferguson Munro) and two daughters, (Mrs. Clifford Jackson, Canton, IIL, and Miss Lexie Munro, of Toronto.) He is also survived by one brother, (John, in Vancouver); and three" sisters, Mrs. A. McLean, Port Perry; Mrs. Jennie Wallace, Staveley, Alta, and Mrs. John N. Mark, Seagrave.
