OF SALT. 



1. It is hereby Ordained, that, in the manufacture of salt by fire 

 heat, the brine when received into the cistern shall remain at least 

 forty-eight hours after the first plunging before it shall be drawn 

 thence into the kettles or pans. The use of lime or any other sub- 

 stance in the manufacture of salt, by being mixed with or added to 

 the water in any stage of the process, without permission of the in- 

 spector, is hereby expressly forbidden. 



2. The cisterns of each block shall be thoroughly cleansed at 

 the opening of the manufacturing season, and as often and when- 

 ever it may be required afterward by the inspector, and it is re- 

 quired that each block shall have at least four cisterns of the ordi- 

 nary capacity. 



3. The connections by which water shall be drawn from the cis- 

 terns into the blocks shall be inserted so as to receive the water at 

 least six inches above the bottom of the cisterns. 



4. Each manufacturer shall provide a good basket, of sufficient 

 capacity to hold one entire drawing for each kettle in operation, 

 into which the salt shall be drawn and there remain over the kettle 

 for thorough drainage before being discharged into the bin, and the 

 basket shall be well cleansed before being replaced over the kettle, 

 and such salt shall remain in full view until the inspector, in his 

 daily examination, shall have an opportunity to see it before it is 

 broken to pieces.
