"152.---The Model Bye-laws issued by the Local Government Board for the use of "sanitary authorities are more precise, and more exacting, in their demands. Local "sanitary authorities frame their own regulations, subject always to the approval and "sanction of the Local Government Board. The Model Bye-laws are promulgated by "that body for the guidance of sanitary authorities, and set forth the minimum provisions which will, under ordinary circumstances, be sanctioned. The Model Bye-laws for a "great number of municipal purposes have been prepared, and I would strongly recom-
mend that the Colonial Government should be supplied with a complete set.
I am "well aware that they are not by any means literally applicable to Colonial requirements, "but they cannot fail to afford many valuable suggestions.
