Table of Contents
A concise handbook dealing with the most important points of the sanitation of Indian Bazaars is much needed; this is an endeavour to supply the want and put the information available on the subject in a convenient form, so as to facilitate the organization, and control the working of the sanitary department of a municipality. It is not within the scope of this work to allude to large waterworks or drainage schemes, but merely to show how existing arrangements can be improved.
The real secret of sanitation is the prompt removal of fæcal matter and refuse from the neighbourhood of inhabited buildings before it has time to decay, as in the early stages of putrefaction emanations are evolved which are highly dangerous to health; it is also an admitted fact that the common fly is a considerable factor in disseminating disease, as it conveys germs on the pads of its feet from infected matter to the food-supply of the inhabitants.
My thanks are due to many who have been good enough to assist me in this work, and especially to Lieutenant-Colonel Whitwell and Captain J. C. Vaughan of the Indian Medical Service; to Mr. A. E. Silk, Sanitary Engineer to the Government of Bengal; and to Captain D. Meagher, the Officer in charge of the Government Farm at Allahabad.

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION.
Table of Contents
The First Edition of this work was favourably received and, being entirely disposed of within five months of its issue, indicates that a want was met. The Manual has been patronised by the Government of India, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, the Local Governments of Bengal, Madras, Burma, Punjab, the United Provinces of Agra and Oude, Assam, the Central Provinces, the North-West Frontier Provinces, Baluchistan, and other Administrations, as well as by several Native States, and by the Nepal Durbar. A Second Edition with a good deal of additional matter added, has therefore been prepared, but this has been called for before the Author was ready for it, and estimated results have in consequence been given in several instances instead of recorded facts. The science of sanitation is, however, progressing so rapidly, that a good deal of useful information is available, and advantage has been taken of criticisms to amplify several points. Additional information has been given on the Biological System of Disposal of Sewage, on Markets, and Drain Flushing among other subjects, and Appendices C to F have been added.
I take this opportunity of again thanking many who have assisted me, and for the generous tone of the criticisms in the public press.
SANITATION
OF
MOFUSSIL BAZAARS.
CHAPTER I.
Surface or Storm-Water Drainage.
Table of Contents
Owing to the fact that earth for the construction of most of the huts in a bazaar has been excavated from the immediate vicinity of the buildings, it is a matter of much consideration to determine the most suitable levels the surface drains should start at, as it is of importance that these should be as shallow as circumstances admit of in order that they may obtain the full benefit of purification by sun and air. By adopting as high a level as possible at the head of the drain it enables better gradients, or falls, to be given which aids much in self-cleansing. The greatest care should be taken not to lose, or waste what little fall there is in the plains, as this is simply invaluable. Deep drains rapidly become foul at the sides and bottom, are difficult to flush owing to the quantity of water required to do so effectively, and great temptation is also given to adjacent house-holders to bridge them over with wide platforms, the consequence being that, sooner or later, the storm-water drain, designed as an open one, and for which it may originally have been more or less suitable, soon changes its character, and becomes a badly designed sewer, which imprisons and concentrates noxious effluvia. When a drain runs beneath a road, provision should be made for a part of it being easily uncovered to admit of examination and cleaning. All drains should open into others at acute, and not at right angles, and must join at top to top, and not at base level; where necessary the difference of level can be made up by falls.
Surface drainage of small roads.
The surface drainage of small roads and paths in a bazaar is best provided for by the construction of a central drain down the middle, to which the ground is made to slightly slope from each side; this prevents the accumulation of filth in the so-called side drains, which are generally merely long pits; and, provided a slight fall be given, they are self-cleaning at every shower of rain.
In paths or gullies a small concrete saucer drain can be constructed, at a cost not exceeding four annas a lineal foot, into which the house connections can be made,—the paths being paved with bricks, set
