recommend that all the officers of the Board be directed to give information
to the Sanitary Inspectors pursuant to section 3 of the Act,
of any nuisances which may come to their knowledge.

carry out the above-mentioned provisions of the Act, and your Committee
recommend that it be referred to the several Local Committees
to report as soon as possible what additional appointments (if any),
should be made in their respective parishes with that object.
15—"Your Committee recommend that an Inspector be employed
in each parish in the district, as is now the ease in some of our parishes,
in superintending the collection of house refuse. The Board are liable
Tinder the new Act to a penalty of £20 if such refuse is not removed within
48 hours of the request of the occupier of the premises. Your Committee
also recommend that cards in the form settled by them and
accompanying this report be printed and left at every house in the
District, giving notice of the day on which the house refuse will be
called for. This system is already carried out in some parts of the
District. Your Committee have noted on the card that if a dustman
demands any fee or gratuity for removing house refuse he is liable to
a fine of 20s.

parish of all underground rooms used as dwellings, and that such
rooms be inspected once in every six months and a report presented to
your Committee upon the result of such inspection.

to report to their respective Local Committees as to what steps are in
their opinion necessary to be taken with the view of complying with
the provisions of section 29 with regard to the cleansing of the footways
(for which the occupiers or owners of the adjoining premises have
hitherto been responsible) and of section 48 with regard to certificates
relating to the water supply of newly-erected houses.
18.- "With reference to the provisions of section 55 your Committee
are of opinion that as a copy of certificates of infectious disease will in
future be sent to the head teachers of schools it will not be necessary
for such cases to be notified, as at present, to the Superintendent of
School Board Visitors for the Division.
19.—"Your Committee recommend that the Board suggest to the
Local Government Board the desirability of the attention of the governing
bodies of general hospitals being called to the provisions of section
73 of the Act relating to non-removal, except for the purpose of burial,
of the bodies of persons who have died in hospitals from infectious
diseases.
20.—"The provisions of sections 59-61 point to the desirability of
the Board themselves providing a disinfecting apparatus. Your Committee
are, however, of opinion that the present system of having
