In order to prevent, as much as possible, chimneys
taking fire, the Magistrates recommend to the in-
habitants 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 who 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 theft and destruction to property.
