(6) Bye-laws relating to houses, to houses let in lodgings, and
to tents, vans, sheds, etc.
No difficulties have arisen in operating these Bye-laws.
During 1929 the Council considered the new model Bye-laws of
the Ministry of Health relating to tents, vans, sheds, etc. As
the existing Bye-laws gave a more complete control over the
sanitary arrangements and the requirements for the provision
of drinking water, the Council decided not to adopt the new
Bye-laws of the Ministry.
