Such a bulkhead was not so often used to completely close a sewer pipe and hold back a pressure of water. The provincial and town- ship inspectors said they knew of no regulations which were broken in con- nection with the accident. However, the provincial officials felt that in future such a bulkhead should be built according to a design prepared by a professional engineer. ’ No one knew why the bulk- head had given way and there was no clue to the reason after the accident.
