That with regard to Section 16 (2) (b), Clause 5, your
Committee do not think it necessary in the interests of health
that house refuse should be removed in all cases so often as
twice a week.
Clauses 6 and 7.—As to the deposit and removal of offensive
refuse:
Your Committee do not think that the time proposed to be
allowed is sufficient, and that such Clauses will be unworkable.
Section 39 (1), Clause 14 :
Your Committee are of opinion that this Clause should be
objected to, it being too stringent in character and would not
permit of the construction of ashpits in the way which your
Committee consider would be of an equally sanitary character.
Clause 23:
Your Committee consider that this Clause is much too
oppressive.
