In this case we are very glad to see that His Excellency has not used the arbitrary powers with which he is invested and that, on the contrary, he has ordained that the laws shall be subjected to amendment and after a reference to the Sanitary Board for that purpose they are to again "come before the Council for further consider ation before becoming binding on the ratepayers.
