There is this to be said concerning its adoption: the continuousvent cannot always be applied, and in some cases it could not beapplied without considerable additional cost. Owing to these conditions it would seem unwise to attempt todemand its use without regard to circumstances surrounding thefixture, but at the same time, much good work would be providedfor in the future, and a long step taken in advance, if plumbingordinances would call for the use of continuous venting whereverpracticable.
