6BTy 10 dlI0r Ut au6uu Iu0 rules. AS Gne
city Of Wilmington by the rules of the
Board was but one district, and contracts
could not be granted to more than one
party.
MI. Hawkins and Mr.. Thatcher differed
from the views expressed by Mr.. Windbh,
and stated 1t would be time enough to talk
over the matter when the present contract
expired, which would not be until the fif-
teenth day Of November next.
Mr.. Windish then offered the following as
rules governing contracts hereafter to be
made by the Board OF Health concerning
the cleaning of cesspools, viz:
It is hereby declared and established by
the Board Of Health of the city of Whining
ton:
First-1t shall be lawful for any person or
persons to cleanse cess. pools, provided they
procure license from the Committee on
Contracts and Licences.
Second-No cesspool shall at any time be
cleansed, or its contents removed until II
shall have been thoroughly deoderized.
Third-The contents of no cesspoOl shall
be removed in any other than substantial
water tight carts or tanks which must have
been first passed inspection by competent
committee of the Board.

standing committee of three of the board,
tracts and Licenses, whose duty 1t shall be
provieed, they name to the committee two
bona 6de; securities in the sum of 8,
as guarantee for the prompt and faithful
performance of their work, and such other
matter IS the committee may from time to
time deem necessary.
Fifth-The entire work to be done free of
all costs lor expense to the city. The
parties TO whom licenses are granred by
the committee may have the privilege OF
availing themselves of the use of any
machine, apparatus, appliances and improve
ment they may deem necessary In the busi-
ness, subject to the approval of the board.
That they may employ, at their own expense
and as many persons as may be deemed
necessary in the prosecution Of
their business, all persons en-
ployed at or about any of the cesspools or
carts shall, whilst 60 employed, wear
badge to be furnished by the board, at the
expense of the party or parties receiving
licensee.
Sixth-That such party or parties receiv-
ing licenses shall be held strictly RESPONSE
BILE for all damages to property and all nui-
sances they may commit, and for each Of
fence shall be liable to fine of dollars
or forfeit their licences as the Board may
direct. Y
Seventh-They shall prepare scale of
prices for cleaning cesspools, which after
being approved by the Board shall be the
established rates of the city, and no higher
or greater rate in any case shall be made or
demanded unless by special agreement first
had between the parties without the consent
or authority of the Board.
Mr.. Thatcher objected on the grounds
that the rules of the Board could not be al
tered, except notice had been given at one
meeting and acted upon at the next meet
ing, and as the committee have asked for
proposals for cleaning cesspools, he hoped
nothing would be done at present.
Mr.. Windish contended that the rules
having been altered at the last meeting
without such notice having been given, the
same thing could be done again, and this
was the proper time to alter the rules be-
fore any contract had been made.
DR.. Draper spoke in favor Of giving to
every person the right to clean cesspools
who desired such right, but would compel
them to use something like tho machine In
present use, as IT wonld be impossible to
deoterize the soil, without destroying It's
properties as q manure.
On motion of Mr.. Thatcher. the proposed
new regulations offered by Mr.. Windish,
were referred to the following committees:
Albert Thatcher, Allen Gawthrop and
W. P. Windish.
On motion adjourned.
