    While every S.A. may make byelaws with respect to the level, width, &c., of new streets (Sect. 41, P.H.I.A., 1878). Every U.S.A. shall make byelaws with respect to the management of and charges for the use of slaughter-houses provided for them (Sect. 103, P.H.I.A., 1878). A series of byelaws have been drawn up by the L.G.B. known as “‘ Model Byelaws”’ and intended to help local authorities in framing byelaws to meet local requirements. The following are the subjects of the “‘ Model Byelaws”’ already issued by the L.G.B. :— 1. Byelaws with respect to common Lodging-houses. 2. Byelaws for the regulation of Water supply. 3. Byelaws for the cleansing of Footways and Pavements ; for the Removal of House Refuse ; and for the Cleansing of Earth-closets, Privies, Ashpits, and Cesspools. 4. Byelaws dealing with Nuisances arising from Snow, Filth, Dust, Ashes, and Rubbish; and for the Regulation of the Keeping of Animals on any Premises. “Model Byelaws’”’ dealing with other subjects are in course of preparation and will be issued in due course. REGULATIONS. Regulations made under any of the Public Health Acts by a S.A. do not, unless in a few exceptional cases where a special direction is given in the section of the Act concerned, require to be confirmed by the L.G.B. They may be framed and adopted by a simple resolution of the S.A. and directly put in force. At any time subsequently they may be rescinded by a resolution of ins Swale Only in the few cases where Regulations have to be sanc- tioned by the L.G.B. (as under the Dairies, Cow-sheds and Milk- shops Orders) may penalties be attached. The L.G.B. may also make and enforce Regulations for par- ticular purposes as under Sect. 149, P.H.I.A., 1878. Regulations made by the L.G.B. under the Public Health Acts are, as a rule, only promulgated in cases of great public urgency, and are often enforced under severe penalties.
