26. No person shall place or leave upon any wharf or in any shed any vegetable or animal matter or goods which are in a state of decay or putrefaction.

27. All explosives, kerosene, and all goods of a dangerous or inflammable character shall be removed by the owner, agent, or consignee immediately on being landed, and such owner, agent, or consignee failing to do so will be held responsible for any damage or loss that may accrue from any accident arising therefrom, in addition to the penalty provided for breach of these regulations, and the Council shall not be responsible for any damage or loss which may accrue to such goods.
