REPORT, 1891-92. 33
9.—Every occupier of a building or premises
wherein or whereon any horse or other beast of draught
or burden, or any cattle or swine may be kept, shall
provide, in connection with such building or premises, a
suitable receptacle for dung, manure, soil, filth, or other
offensive or noxious matter which may, from time to
time, be produced in the keeping of any such animal in
such building or upon such premises.
He shall cause such receptacle to be constructed so
that the bottom or floor thereof shall not, in anv case,
be lower than the surface of the ground adjoining such
receptacle.
He shall also cause such receptacle to be constructed
in such a manner and of such materials, and to be
maintained at all times in such a condition as to prevent
any soakage therefrom into the ground or into the
wall of any building.
He shall likewise provide in connexion with such
building or premises a sufficient drain constructed in
such a manner, and of such materials, and maintained
at all times in such a condition as effectually to convey
all urine or liquid filth, or refuse therefrom, into a
sewer or other proper receptacle.
He shall at such times as the Sanitary Authority
may by notice require, periodically remove or cause to
be removed from the receptacle provided in accordance
with the requirements of this bye-law all dung, manure,
soil, filth, or other offensive or noxious matter, produced
in or upon such building or premises, and deposited in
such receptacle.
