TOWNS IMPROVEMENT CLAUSES ACT 1847 - SECT 102

Regulations to prevent accumulation of dung, &c.

102. If at any time the officer of health, or, if for the time being there be
no officer of health, any two surgeons or physicians, or one surgeon and one
physician, residing within the said limits, certify under his or their hands
to the commissioners that any house or part of any house or building within
the limits of the special Act is in such a filthy or unwholesome condition
that the health of the inmates or of the neighbours is thereby affected or
endangered, or that the whitewashing, cleansing, or purifying of any house or
building or any part thereof would tend to prevent or check infectious or
contagious disease therein, or that any drain, privy, or cesspool is in such a
defective state that the health of the neighbours is thereby affected or
endangered, the commissioners shall order the occupier of such house or part
thereof to whitewash, cleanse, and purify the same, and the owner of such
drain, privy, or cesspool to amend the condition thereof, in such manner and
within such time as the commissioners deem reasonable; and if such occupier or
owner do not comply with such order, he shall be liable to a penalty not
exceeding [50p] for every day's neglect thereof; and in such case
the commissioners may cause such house or any part thereof to be whitewashed,
cleansed, and purified, or the condition of such drain, privy, or cesspool to
be amended, and may recover the expence thereof from such occupier or owner,
in the same manner as damages.
