Mr. Lurvey further explained that often when our engineer examines these Lots they are not adequately marked and therefore it is very difficult for him to know just where the sewage system is to be placed or if the Lots are right for drainage; such was the case in.this subdivision and on the re-examination the builder was present and therefore was able to designate the Lots in question properly.
