Regulations for the guidance of Chinese Gardeners, 1904. The Brisbane Courier 4 November 1904 REGULATING CHINESE GARDENERS 19360403 ) By-laws made at the instance of the Commissioner of Public Health, under Section 133 of the Health Act of 1900, for preventing the spread of infectious diseases, have been approved. The by-laws are in force over the while of Queensland, and provide that vegetables shall not be stored or kept in any house occupied by market gardeners; or in any place but a well-ventilated shed. Vegetables are not to be washed in water receiving the drainage from slaughter yards or other similar establishments, or in water otherwise polluted. Any vehicle used for the conveyance of vegetables must be kept clean. Manure, offal, or similar matter shall not be buried near the banks of creeks, but shall be mixed with earth and buried in deep trenches as far as possible form the creeks. A pigsty or similar structure shall not be erected or allowed to exist in such a position as to drain into any river, stream, watercourse, public well or place for water. Tins, bottles, vegetable matter or other refuse shall not be thrown into any river, stream, watercourse, public well, fountain, dam, or other public water or place for water. Every pigsty shall be clean twice each week. Liquid manure, &c., is not to be used in watering vegetables. The penalty provided for a breach of the regulations is not exceeding £20. The regulations are evidently an attempt to regulate the practice of Chinese gardeners. Placards in Chinese, containing the purport of the regulations, will be exhibited at various places
