    8 3. The present system of common privies should be abolished in the town, and properly constructed water-closets be substituted. 4. A system of public scavengering should be established, and no accumulation of manure or filth of any kind should be permitted. 5. No pigs should be permitted to be kept, unless there be very ample space, which is scarcely ever the case in a town. 6. The present laxity in regard to nuisances should be discontinued, both in urban and rural district, and the byelaws in the former should be put in force. 7. The medical officer of health should be furnished regularly with copies of the lists of pauper sickness so soon as these are sent in by the district medical officers. 8. In view of the importance of excluding from schools all children likely to import infection, some arrangement should be made by which schoolmasters or mistresses shall be supplied with immediate information as to the occurrence of infectious disease in any house whence they receive scholars.
