SAINT VINCENT, TUESDAY, 2 AUGUST, 1955.-(No. 47).


 PUBLIC HEALTH NOTICE.

 The attention of Residents is drawn to
 the Regulatio.ns relating to the disposal
 of house refuse in Kingstown. For
 sometime now, unfortunately, the prac-
 tice of dumping refuse in the streets
 or placing refuse in old broken boxes
 and buckets has been indulged in too
 freely. This practice, apart from being
 an offence against existing Regulation,
 creates unsightly rubbish heaps and can
 be dangerous to health.

 therefore soliciting the co-operation of
 all residents in Kingstown in order to
 bring about some amelioration of this
 undesirable condition.

 publish below the Regulation con-
 trolling the disposal of refuse in Kings-
 town :-
