Deputy Clerk of Councils,
Explanatory Note.
(This Note is not part of the by-laws, but la intended to indicate their general purport).
These by-laws replace, with amendment, the Conservancy By-laws moulained in Schedule A of the repealed Public Health (Sanitation) Ordinance, 1935.
2. The monopoly in the Council with respect to the collection of excretal || mutter provided by the former Conservancy By-laws is now provided by section 17 of the Public Health and Urban Services Ordinance, 1960, and is. therefore, omitted from these by-laws. Since the provision of the conservancy service is a departmental matter, it is considered unnecessary to retain those provisions of the former by-laws which provide for the manner in which the service is to be carried out by the Council. With regard to conservancy services, the provisions of these by-laws relate, therefore, only to the prevention of the mauthorized collection or disposal of excretal matter, the duties of the occupiers of premises with respect to the provision of containers for excretal maller and ** collection by the conservancy services and fees. By-laws 4, 5 and 6 contain provisions with respect to water-borne sanitation.
