sanitary authority a written notice requiring
removal of such refuse, the sanitary authority
shall comply with such notice within 48 hours
after that service, exclusive of Sundays and

any dispute or difference of opinion arises
between the owner or occupier and the

refuse, a petty sessional court, on complaint
made by either party, may by order
determine whether the subject matter of
dispute is offensive or noxious trade refuse,
and the decision of that court shall be final.

which such refuse is removed shall pay to the
sanitary authority a reasonable sum, either
by way of annual payment or in respect of
each such removal, and such sum in case of
dispute shall be settled by the order of a
petty sessional court.
