(6) Whenever the sides of the trenches will not stand perpen- dicular, sheeting and braces must be used to prevent unnecessary caving. (7) No pipes or other materials for the drains shall be used until they have been approved by the superintendent of public works, the town engineer, or a duly authorized inspector. (8) The least inclination that shall be allowed for water-closet, kitchen, and all other drains of not over six inches in diameter, liable to receive solid substances, is one-half inch in two feet, and for cellar and all other drains to receive water only, one-quarter inch in two feet. All drains to be laid at a grade of not over one-half inch in two feet between the sewer and the sidewalk; the grade to be continued from the sidewalk or curb line to all connecting catch-basins at one-half inch in two feet, unless written permission is first obtained from the owner to raise said grade. (9) The ends of all pipes not to be immediately connected with water-closets, sinks, down-spouts, or catch-basins, must be securely guarded against the introduction of, sand or earth by brick or cement, or other water-tight and imperishable materials.

(16) Whenever it is necessary to disturb a wooden drain in actual use, it must in no case be obstructed without the special direc- tion of one of the town officers.

In no case will it be allowed to let drain pipes rest on wood or other perishable material. (17) The back filling over drains after they are laid must be puddled, and together with the replacing of ballast and paving must be done so as to make them at least as good as they were before they were disturbed, and to the satisfaction of the superintendent of public works, and the drain-layer will be held responsible for any subsequent settlement of the ground; all water and gas pipes must be protected from injury or settling.
