MOUNT ROSKILL ROAD DISTRICT BY-LAWS.

To regulate the conditions subject to which the trades of scavenging and the removal of nightsoil may be carried on in the Mount Roskill Road District in order to prevent or diminish the offensiveness of such trades and to safeguard the public health, and to regulate the position of privies, the sanitation thereof, and the keeping of pigs within the said district, and generally to regulate the carting, removing, and disposal of offensive matter as hereinafter defined within the said district.

In pursuance of the powers vested in it by “The Road Boards Act, 1882,” and “The Public Health Act, 1900,” and any amendments thereof respectively, and of all other statutes and powers, if any, it hereunto enabling, the Mount Roskill Road Board doth hereby make and ordain the following by-laws to be in force in the Mount Roskill Road District, that is to say,—

(c.) Drive, take, conduct, or convey any cart, wagon, float, or other vehicle upon which any offensive matter is laden in or through the district or any part thereof, unless such cart, wagon, float, or other vehicle has been first registered by the owner with the Board, and has painted thereon in some conspicuous part of the same, in letters at least two inches in height in white paint on a dark ground, the registered number assigned to such cart, wagon, float, or other vehicle by the Board.
