ARE OHAOTIC - In the Dominion of Canada we have` no recognized ' universal- standards regarding ' sanitary plumbing and ventilation, but are governed by a multiplicity of laws and by-laws, adopted by the govern- ing bodies of our cities and towns and enforced according to their own interpretation.' With these words, Mr, John W. Bruce, General Organizer of F the United ` Associa- tion of Plumbers 'a11'd_.Steamtters`, g prefaced an address at the Fifth -Annual Meeting of A the -Commission of, Conservation on the subject `of V the present chaotic state of sani- tary lawnin Canada, and the need for its }1nication. A . i In the course ofhisv address, Mr. j >4 Bruce emphasiied the importance 3 of sanitary plumbing in its relation .' to public health. _He compared ! Montreal, with a death rate of" 20 -A per thousaird; with T_oronto, which 1 has a `death-rate of 12.8, and attri- ' buted the dierencc. in large part, ' to the more lax enforcement of sanitary regulations in` the `former. In many hotels, he said; there. were not enough` conveniences, neither - were they kept properly clean.
