The District Health Officer, Christchurch, reports :—- The Riccarton Borough passed by-laws regulating the area and frontage of sections on which buildings may be erected. The Waimairi County Council also adopted by-laws regarding the installation of septic tanks and the deposit of nightsoil. The Christchurch City Council also have in hand the remodelling of their present by-laws, and these will probably include special plumbing and drainage by-laws relating to districts recently included in the city and outside the Drainage Board's area, and also by-laws relating to septic tanks, the licensing of milk-vendors, and dealing with stables. The Eangiora Borough also drafted general sanitary by-laws, but it having been ascertained that this body had delegated its powers to the Hospital Board, it was unable to proceed with its by-laws under the Public Health Act. They are now making their by-laws solely under the Municipal Corporations Act. The New Brighton Borough have also drafted sanitary by-laws, but these, however, have not yet been finally passed.
