H. and shall, as soon as conveniently may be, cause every part of the room which may have been occupied by such lodger to be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected, and shall also cause every article in such room which may

be

liable to retain infection to be in a like manner cleansed and disinfected, unless the Council shall have ordered the same to be destroyed.

He shall comply with all instructions of the M. O. H. as to the proper cleansing and disinfection of the room and articles.

When the same shall have been thoroughly cleansed and disinfected in accordance with such instructions, he shall give written notice thereof to the M. O. H., and until two days from the giving of such notice shall have elapsed, and unless and until by such cleansing and disinfection the necessary precautions for preventing the spread of disease shall have been duly taken, such keeper shall not cause or suffer any other lodger to be received into the room which, in the cases hereinbefore specified, may have been exposed to infection.

Penalties.

A keeper contravening any of the foregoing bye-laws shall be liable to the same penalties as can be inflicted for nuisances given at the end of Part 1 hereof, and any Court or justices have also a similar discretionary power to reduce the fines imposed by this bye-law.
