unimportant.

Clause 5.-—(1.) Every local authority shall, with all practi¬ 
cable speed after the making of this order, open, and shall 
thenceforth keep, a register for the registration with them under 
this order of all persons from time to time carrying on in their 
district the trade of cowkeepers, dairymen, or purveyors of milk, 
and shall, from time to time, revise and correct the register. 
(2.) The local authority shall give public notice, by advertise¬ 
ment in a newspaper circulating in their district, and, if they 
think fit, by placards, handbills, or otherwise, of the time at which 
the register will be opened, and of the mode of registration. (3.) 
After the expiration of the time prescribed in this behalf in the 
advertisement, not being more than two months, and not being 
less than fourteen days, from the publication of the advertise¬ 
ment, it shall not be lawful for any person to carry on in the 
district of the local authority the trade of a cowkeeper, dairyman, 
or purveyor of milk, unless he is registered as such under this 
order.

faction of the local authority, for the lighting, ventilation, clean¬ 
sing, drainage, and water supply of the same, while occupied as 
a dairy or cow-shed. 
7. —It shall not be lawful for any person following the trade 
of cowkeeper or dairyman to occupy as a dairy or cow-shed any 
building, whether so occupied at the making of this order or not,

water-supply thereof are not such as are necessary or proper— 
(a) for the health and good condition of the cattle therein; and
