ORIGINAL MUFASSAL REGULATIONS UNDER THE
EPIDEMIC DISEASES ACT, 1897, FOE DISTRICT
MUNICIPALITIES AND TOWNS AND VILLAGES.
WHEREAS certain parts of India are visited by, and the Presi-
dency of Madras is threatened with, an outbreak of a dangerous
epidemic disease known as bubonic plague, and whereas the
ordinary provisions of the law in force in the Presidency are
insufficient for the purpose of preventing the outbreak or spread
of the disease. His Excellency the Governor of Fort St. George
in Council, in exercise of the powers delegated to him under
section 2, sub-section (3), of the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897,
by the Governor-General in Council, is pleased to prescribe,
under the said Epidemic Diseases Act, the following revised
Regulations to be observed in the district municipalities con-
stituted under the District Municipalities Act, 1884, and in
other towns and villages in the Presidency : —
1. In every district municipality and every town or village,
every householder and every medical practitioner practising
therein who becomes cognizant of any case of the bubonic
plague or of fever with glandular swellings in his house or in
any other private dwelling within the limits of the municipality,
town or village, shall be bound to give information of the same,
with the least practicable delay, in the municipality to the
Chairman of the Council and the medical officer in charge of
the municipal dispensary or hospital, and in a town or village,
not being a municipality, to the officer in charge of the nearest
police station, who shall report the fact at once to the Magis-
trate in charge of the division. Every householder and every
keeper or person in charge of an hotel, chuttram or other place
of public resort, shall also in the same manner forthwith report
the arrival at the house, hotel, chuttram or other place, of any
person from, any area which has been notified by the Governor
in Council or the Collector to be infected. The Chairman or
Magistrate, as the case may be, shall forthwith send information
to the Collector of the district of the occurrence of any such
case.
2. On the requisition of the Collector, and to the extent to
which he may determine, a Municipal Council or a District
Board, if it has not already made the provision, shall provide
9
and maintain in such localities, which, in the case of a munici-
pality, may be within or without the municipal limits, as in the
opinion of the District Medical and Sanitary Officer, or a
medical officer deputed by him, may be proper for the purpose,
suitable and sufficient accommodation to the satisfaction of such
medical officer, for the isolation and treatment of persons suffer-
ing or suspected to be suffering from the plague, or to have so
lately suffered from the plague as to be in an infectious state,
or likely from recent contact with plague cases to have been
infected or to be in an infectious state, and also accommodation
for their detention until they shall be certified by the medical
officer in charge to be free from infection. In the places so
provided, the Municipal Council or the District Board, as the case
may be, shall furnish such hospital establishments, equipment
and supplies as the District Collector may determine, and shall
also make arrangements for feeding persons detained under the
powers conferred by any of the Regulations made under the
Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897, on payment by them of the cost;
but in the case of indigent persons, the Municipal Council or the
District Board, as the case may be, shall supply them with food
free of charge: provided that any person so detained may cater
for himself subject to such rules and conditions as the medical
officer in charge may prescribe. The Municipal Council or Dis-
trict Board, as the case may be, shall, on like requisition and in
like manner and subject to like approval, provide accommoda-
tion for persons who may be required to vacate any building or
ground under the Regulations set out below numbered 4, 5 and
6, and who may be unable to procure necessary accommodation
for themselves.
Explanation.—Any certificate given under this Regulation
should contain an accurate description of the person named in
it to prevent, so far as possible, its being used by another
person.
3. When, in any building or place within a municipality,
town or village, there is a person suffering or suspected to be
suffering from the bubonic plague, or to have so lately suffered
from the plague as to be in an infectious state, or likely from
recent contact with plague cases to have been infected or to be
in an infectious state, or believed to have recently arrived from
an infected area, the Collector or any officer appointed by him,
generally or specially in this behalf, may enter and inspect such
person and building or place, and either—
(a) remove such person to one of the places of accom-
modation provided under the preceding Regulation
2, and in such place or in some other place so
