We're being passed by the town council to
regulate this. But the act of common coun-
ell, passed in this month in 1872, was by
far the most complete of its kind up to tina t
date, and contains what is possibly the ear
Hest reference to the familiar dustman. All
citizens. we read. were ordered ito keep the
streets before their houses duly paved and
swept. and to preserve their rubbish in tubs
or baskets TIL the coming of the raker. on
the penalty of three shillings and four
pence" There is something socialistic in
thus making the citizens responsible for the
cleanliness of their own streets: but II must
have saved the authorities a good deal of
