13. Removal of Sand, etc. 
Preventing the removal or carrying away of any sand, shingle, rock, gravel, soil, or artificial 
protection from any part of the foreshore, or from any beach, bank, or public place whatso- 
ever, without permission from some proper authority in such regulations to be indicated. 
15. Removal of Hulks 
Removing from any shores or beaches and open spaces, when thought advisable, all hulks, 
cutters, boats, canoes, timber, casks, rubbish, or any obstruction or objectionable article or 
thing whatsoever ; or requiring the removal thereof by any persons judged to be 
responsible therefor. 
i 7 . Inspection of Premises 
Providing for the inspection from time to time, and as often as may be thought expedient, of 
all lots, compounds, dwelling-houses, sheds, buildings, and premises whatsoever by such 
officers or persons as may be prescribed ; subject to such conditions, safeguards, and 
requirements, whether as to obtaining an order under the hand of some Justice, the Chief 
Magistrate or other authority, or otherwise, as may be prescribed. 
Dr. Forde informed me, in a letter dated February 17, that the removal of 
old pots and pans, etc., throughout the town had been completed, and that the 
inspector had now begun his regular weekly inspection of yards and compounds ; 
also a gang of men had started filling in some of the grass-clogged drains, and the 
filling in of all large pools near the cemetery had now been accomplished. 
I understand also that special sanitary regulations have been drawn up, but 
as yet I have not seen a copy.
