Member, but he expected that the honour
able Secretary would do so and do so with
more authority than he could.
The Secretary Sail h could agree with
the honorable Member for the Country
District (Wllson) that since the provisional
Regulations We're iSsnpd the condi'io N Of
hog pens in the conitIy has improved con-
siderably; before that there were any
amount OF hog pens round about in the
villIgeS aim ST in the houses. Also in the
towns there has since then been slrwn Il
reSpec able endeaV0ur on the part Of the
Police t. keep hOG-penS at a distance from
buildings; there is Of course more still 70
be done but it must be remembered at
theslmr time that in making arrangements
OF the kind some lite consideration must
be shown The poorer classes who have
hitherto been allowed to d.rive some in
come from Swine-keeping. Il will he fOund
IN general thai the nulSanc' has de1rta 3ed
considerably h. could however not o. her
wise than personally agree that swine
keeping ought to be abolished altogether
in the towns.
9th Crown Member (KaImer) could not
leave untouched thA question of keeping
swine in Town. 1t is of course pleasant to
hear tltt an improvement has been achiev-
ell on The former system; he It'd not doubt
that 1t is 50 but when regard to tue poor
er classes has been urged as q matter for
consideration. he could not otherwise than
look upon II as II very dangerous argu
ment, a sword that works both WAYS. BIT
the chief question is, whether the whole
community is to be exposed to suffer for
one individual. while to him it appeared
on the contrary beyond IA doubt, that the
individual must suffer for the whole com
mum y. He would in this respect call
attention to The fact that the towns are
already overstocked with people, so many
from the country having removed to town
since the change OF The Lab0nr Regnla-
tlOnS; there is no reason to encourage a
further increase of population; but if pe0-
pie in town are 10 b . allowed to have hog
pens, there would be one more inducement
for country people to move in while he
believed We should rather do all in our
power to prevent greater influx Om The
country districts. If people in Town want
to keep swine, let them go out in the cOIn-
try. With regard to the point that the
eSlnteproprietoIS should not contribute to
pay tn" expenses OF the cleaning of streets
etc III the towns, tue h rnOurabIe Member

The Secretary said he perfectly agreed in
The remarks made by the honorable 5th
Crown Member lKalmrr) in reply to the
Observations from End Member for Frede-
