About this book
The Municipal and Sanitary Engineer's Handbook is by H. Percy Boulnois. The preface says the author wished to turn to a practical book of reference upon the many subjects connected with the duties of a Borough Surveyor, and so wrote the pages in the hope that they will form a useful Handbook. The text discusses the position of the town surveyor, giving the argument of those in authority that if a surveyor disagrees with the corporation he serves, it is considered better that he should resign his appointment rather than be protected by the Local Government Board.
The text says that sometimes a so-called repair of a building is commenced by adding a new roof perhaps, at a higher level than the old one, and that a new front is erected when sufficient time has elapsed to allay suspicion. The index lists, among others, entries for Slippery roads, Sludge, treatment of, and Snow, removal of.
