The. necessary'-forms'''-to be gone through will probably prevent the by-law coming into, full force. for about three months, as the,necessary advertising, confirming, gazetting, &c, will take fully that time. While all this is being d6ne it behoves those ratepayers who have any interest in the health of the borough to make every effort—by the aid of their representatiresi and by their j6V,tfexe^ tions—to render as perfect; as possibly the proposed law which is ,promised ,them after so many strUKgleg,-andr#hioiirwill, without questiobi conduce most materially to the health of the people.
