PARKS 



The urine is carried in a pipe from the urinal or from a number of urinals 

 into the pit a few inches below the sand layer. The urine passes out of the 

 pit into the adjacent ground. The soil surrounding the pit must be capable 



of absorbing the urine, as a soak- 

 age pit will not function properly 

 in impermeable soil such as clay. 

 In suitable soil a soakage pit, if 

 not overloaded, will care for the 

 urine for an indefinite period 

 without creating a nuisance. 



Sanitation of toilet and privy 

 buildings. All toilet or privy 

 buildings should be kept scru- 

 pulously clean. Toilet paper 

 should be provided and the use 

 of newspapers or other materials 

 in lieu of toilet paper should be 

 strictly forbidden. The floors 



should be swept daily and the walls cleaned at frequent intervals. Privy 

 seats, the exterior of the privy boxes, and toilet bowls should be scrubbed
