In order to prevent, as much as possible, chimneys taking fire, the magistrates recommend to the inha-
bitants to get their chimneys swept every six weeks, and not to employ or admit to their houses, or to the
roof thereof, any chimney-sweeper not having a badge, or whp refuses to produce the same when demanded.
The magistrates also recommend to the inhabitants to keep the hatchway, or other access to the roof of
their houses, properly secured, and not to intrust the key to any chimney-sweeper who has not a badge,
in order to prevent tjteft and destruction to property.
