Water and Impurities from Cellars and other places

comfort and health of the inhabitants of the Town of
Oamaru is caused by suffering waste or impure water or
other matter to remain in cellars, buildings and premises
in the town, and it is necessary to prevent such nui-
sances: Be it therefore ordered and directed by the Council
of the said town, by virtue of the authority in them
vested, that from and after the day on which this bye-
law shall come into operation, it shall not be lawful for
any person to suffer any waste or impure water or other
