Clause 67

The owner and occupier of any premises abutting upon any private street to which they have access or the right of access from such premises shall cause such portion of the street as fronts, adjoins or abuts on his premises and up to the centre thereof, including the footways, to be properly swept and cleansed and watered so far as is reasonably practicable and the dust, dirt, ashes, rubbish and filth of every sort found thereon to be collected and removed.

The Director may by notice in writing require any person upon whom any duty is cast under subsection (1) of this section to sweep and cleanse and water such street and to collect and remove the dust, dirt, ashes, rubbish and filth found thereon at such time or times as are stated in such notice.

Any person to whom such notice is given who fails to comply with it shall be liable on conviction, without further notice, to a fine not exceeding twenty dollars for every day during which such non-compliance continues, and the Director may himself cause the work to be done and the owner shall pay to the Government the cost and expense thereof.

The Director may contract with any owner or occupier as aforesaid for sweeping and cleaning such street and for collecting and removing the dust, dirt, ashes and rubbish for any period the Director thinks fit.

The amount due by the contracting persons to the Government shall be recoverable in the manner provided under section 154 of this Ordinance.
