27. From time to time after the issuing of any such Proclamation as aforesaid, and while the same continues in force, the Board may issue Bye-Laws, as they shall think fit, for the prevention as far as possible or mitigation of such epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease, and from time to time may revoke, renew, and alter any such Bye-Laws; and the Board shall have the power to include in such Bye-Laws the levying of fines and penalties for the infraction thereof not exceeding two hundred dollars or six months imprisonment.
