In pursuance of the powers in that behalf vested in it by “The Road Boards Act, 1882,” and its amendments, “The Public Health Act, 1876,” and “The Public Works Act, 1894,” and all other statutes it thereunto enabling, the Road Board of the Tamaki West Road District doth hereby ordain as follows:—

1. No person shall spill or cast or allow any nightsoil or other offensive matter to be spilt or cast into or upon any road or street.

2. All privies and house-drains within the district shall be under the superintendence, government, and control of the Board.

3. No person shall without the special consent of the said Board bury or cause or suffer or allow to be buried any nightsoil in any yard, garden, area, paddock, or other place whatsoever in the district situated in the following prescribed area, viz.: All that area of land known as the St. Helier’s Bay Township, being the whole of the land shown on plan deposited in the Land Transfer Office at Auckland as No. 410.

4. The Board may make such provision as it shall think fit for the removal, periodically or otherwise, or may at any time cause to be removed, from any or every dwellinghouse or other tenement or building, or from any place whatsoever, within the road district, at the expense of the owner or occupier thereof, any nightsoil, dung, slops, filth, offensive matter, refuse, or rubbish of any kind; and no person shall remove nightsoil from the said prescribed area without a license from the Board.

5. The expense incurred in such removal shall be deemed to be a debt due by the owner and the occupier of the premises or place from which such removal is made, and shall be recoverable summarily from either such owner or occupier by action in any Court of competent jurisdiction.

6. The Inspector of Nuisances and Sanitary Inspector for the time being appointed by the Board, or any other person or persons who may be appointed by the Board for the purposes of these by-laws, shall have power to enter into or upon any building or land within the Tamaki West Road District for the purpose of effecting any such removal as in the last preceding sections specified, or for examining the condition of any privy, drain, or closet-pan, or for cleansing, constructing, altering, or repairing same.

7. Every privy or closet shall have a watertight box or pan of a size not more that 3 cubic feet, and the occupier of the premises shall cause earth, ashes, lime, or other deodorising substance to be used daily.

8. No person shall permit any building, yard, premises, or place in his or her occupation within the district to become a nuisance by reason of offensive smells, or of the accumulation of offensive matter of any kind thereon or therein.

9. No person shall keep, or allow or suffer or permit to be kept, swine or pigs on any allotment of land less than half an acre in extent.

10. Whenever a contract shall be subsisting and in force between the Tamaki West Road Board and a contractor providing for the removal by such contractor of nightsoil, the occupier of every dwelling situated within the prescribed area shall employ the services of such nightsoil contractor for the removal of all faecal and other matter deposited in any privy or water-closet situated on such premises, and shall pay to the said contractor such sum or sums, quarterly or oftener, as may be specified in any contract made by the Board in this behalf. Every person who shall violate or fail to observe this provision shall on conviction be liable to a penalty not exceeding £5 for each such offence.

11. In case of default of payment as stipulated in the last preceding section, such sum or sums in default shall be recoverable summarily from the occupier or owner of such premises in any Court of competent jurisdiction.

12. Every person who causes or permits to run from any manufactory or other establishment for the boiling or preparing of any animal matter, or any brewery, slaughter-house, butcher’s shop, or any dunghill, or from any receptacle, or from any inn or building whatsoever, into or upon any street, public or private, or any footway or channel, and every occupier of any land or premises who causes or permits to run from such land or premises into or upon any such road, street, footway, or channel, any offensive liquid or matter, shall, for every day during which any such liquid or matter shall so run, forfeit a sum not exceeding £5.
