This anggestion was adopted and the clanse amended accordingly.
A discussion arose with respect to section 36. The miantes of the last meeting were read and which gives the Sanitary Board pover le issue by-tawi for the prevention or raitigation of opi demic and provides as a penalty for breach of euel by-lawa a duo not exceeding $200 or six months' imprisonment.
