BY-LAWS SUGGESTED
FOR THE
GUIDANCE OF MUNICIPAL COUNCILS
IN ESTABLISniNO
locajl boards of health.
It is hoped that during the ensuing year many new Local Boards of Health will be
established. In order to assist in accomplishing this very desirable object, and to meet
enquiries, the following proposed By-laws and Rules relating to Public Health are sub-
mitted for reference, and attention is also directed to the * " Memorandum Concerning
the Powers and Dutiea of Municipal Authorities," issued last year by the Provincial
Board of Health.
Many Municival Councils throughout the Province have already adopted some of
the clauses recommended in this pamphlet.
It has been thought advisable, however, to frame and distribute a systematic code
of regulations in order to secure, if possible, uniformity and efficiency in the method of
administering the Public Health Service of the Province.
This code of health regulations may be modified, as deemed necessary in the opinion
of municipal aathorities, to suit local requirements and to accomplish the desired
result.
