dwellings of the people should be kept clean, and the
pavements washed after the manner in use in some cities,
(as in Oxford for instance), with such a prompt removal of

preclude the injurious effects that necessarily result from
their prolonged retention in dust-bins which as at present

of maintaining a cleanly condition of the District, and
one therefore less assailable to sudden and violent attacks
of epidemic disease.
Further detailed information on matters of local
interest is presented in the following Summaries by which
each member of the Board may become acquainted with
the conditions and requirements of the sub-district which
he represents.
