  part 
  of 
  the 
  nuisances 
  to 
  be 
  got 
  rid 
  of. 
  The 
  proportion 
  of 
  excreta 
  must 
  

   necessarily 
  vary 
  mth 
  the 
  industries 
  and 
  habits 
  of 
  the 
  towns 
  or 
  cities, 
  in 
  

   manufacturing 
  populations 
  the 
  refuse 
  from 
  factories 
  being 
  great, 
  while 
  with 
  

   residential 
  populations 
  this 
  must 
  be 
  hmited. 
  Hence, 
  in 
  inland 
  towns, 
  we 
  

   observe 
  the 
  present 
  measures 
  of 
  municipalities 
  discouraging 
  water-closets 
  

   and 
  promoting 
  some 
  form 
  or 
  other 
  of 
  the 
  dry 
  system. 
  

  

  In 
  a 
  colony 
  such 
  as 
  ours, 
  where 
  new 
  miinicipalities 
  are 
  being 
  annually 
  

   incorporated, 
  it 
  is 
  desirable 
  that 
  in 
  their 
  varied 
  responsibilities 
  they 
  should 
  

   not 
  neglect 
  sanitary 
  reform. 
  Though 
  in 
  the 
  early 
  stages 
  of 
  a 
  town 
  cess- 
  

   pools 
  are 
  not 
  to 
  be 
  avoided, 
  yet 
  in 
  relation 
  to 
  the 
  health 
  of 
  the 
  people 
  these 
  

   should, 
  as 
  early 
  as 
  possible, 
  be 
  abolished 
  by 
  law, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  place 
  the 
  

   dry 
  system 
  instituted, 
  until 
  they 
  have 
  obtained 
  a 
  water-supply 
  and 
  fully 
  

   considered 
  their 
  facilities 
  of 
  removal 
  and 
  the 
  permanent 
  sites 
  to 
  which 
  

   they 
  could 
  conduct 
  the 
  sewage, 
  Avith 
  the 
  least 
  offence 
  to 
  interests 
  in 
  

   their 
  neighbourhood.
