Members of the Board Of Health are
anxious that the Borough Council should take
steps as early az possible to put the health
rules on a legal footing. Nearly two weeks
have elapsed since the Council considered and
endorsed the rules, but nothing has been done
with them since. With the rules in Illegal
form the Board Of Health is practically
poperless, and as one month must elapse after
the first publication before the rules become
laws it is necessary that Councils action
should be prompt.
