by, and other parts are threatened with, an outbreak of a
dangerous epidemic disease known as plague, and whereas the
ordinary provisions of the law for the time being in force in

the outbreak or spread of the -disease :
In exercise of the powers conferred by section 2, sub-sec-

may be notified by the Governor in Council under these
regulations to be under observation on account of its being
imminently threatened with plague ;

notified under these regulations by the Governor in Council
or, subject to his control, by the Collector of a district, to be

that any district, town, village or other area is imminently
threatened with plague, issue an order declaring such district,

emergency the district Collector may notify by torn-torn and
by publication in the district gazette, as soon as possible there-
after, that any such place or area is infected with plague.
