7. The Chairman of the Council, or any person duly authorised by the Council in that behalf, may by notice in writing direct the owner or occupier of any house or other building in a dirty and unwholesome state to clean or cause the same to be cleaned within a time to be specified in such notice, which may be in Form C in the Schedule hereto. And if after service of such notice upon him any person shall refuse or neglect to comply with such notice, he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding one pound for the first offence and not exceeding two pounds for every subsequent offence.

8. The Council may order the removal, renovation, or destruction of any building in a dirty and unwholesome state, if in its opinion it is unsuitable for human accommodation, or if the owner or occupier thereof fails after due notice to clean, renovate, or himself remove or destroy the same. Any costs incurred by the Council in and about such cleaning, renovation, removal or destruction shall be a debt due to the Council, recoverable as liquidated damages by process in the Magistrate’s Court.

9. The Village Committee may in its discretion ease or modify the application of the foregoing By-laws Nos. 7 and 8, in the case of any old, ill, or feeble person occupying any such buildings as aforesaid, so that such by-law may not press heavily on such person.

11. No person who is the owner or occupier of any premises within a Maori kainga shall permit or suffer any nightsoil or refuse or any offensive rubbish or matter of any kind whatever to accumulate or remain or be in or upon such premises, or upon any footpath, street, drain, or any public thoroughfare, so as to be injurious or dangerous to health or so as to cause an offensive smell.

12. No horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, or other animals shall be buried within a Maori kainga.

13. No person shall throw or leave any dead animal on any property within a Maori kainga or upon a public road whereby any offensive smell is or is likely to be created.

Where a public meeting is held by invitation, the person or persons issuing such invitation shall be jointly and severally liable, if he or they supply or cause to be supplied any alcoholic liquor to the visitors, or any of them, or to any person whatsoever attending such meeting, to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.

17. Any person found drunk at any Maori meeting shall be liable to a fine of not less than ten shillings and not exceeding two pounds.

20. The following by-laws shall apply to Indian, Assyrian, and other hawkers selling their wares in the Maori kaingas within the district—that is to say :—

(1.) Such person shall have a license from the Council before he may vend his wares within the kaingas of the district.
