lessee of such building or place shall be entitled to a reason-
able rent to be fixed by the Collector or plague officer for the
period during which the ground or building may be so occu-
pied; and the Collector, plague officer or assistant plague
officer, as the case may be, shall, when the building or place
ceases to be so occupied, thoroughly cleanse and disinfect it,
and, if the owner so desires, shall whitewash internally and
externally any building so occupied. Nothing in this rule
shall authorize the chairman of a municipal council to enter
upon, occupy or use any building or place which is the
property of Government without the previous permission of
the Collector.
29. A canal boat shall be subject to all the regulations
applicable to buildings and, in order to prevent the spread
of the infection of plague either by or to a canal boat, the
Collector of the district or any plague officer or any officer
appointed by the Collector in this behalf may require such
boat to alter its moorings or to stop during its passage and
moor in such position as such officer may indicate, or may
direct that it desist from plying until such time as may
be stated in a notice placed on a conspicuous position of
the boat.
30. (1) In the absence of a written contract to the
contrary, every inspector, maistri, peon, watchman, cooly,
scavenger or other menial servant employed to do duty in
connection with plague shall be entitled to one month's
notice before discharge or to one month's wages in lieu
thereof, unless he is discharged for misconduct or was engaged
for a specified term and is discharged at the end of it.
Similarly every supplier of coolies or other menial servants
shall be entitled to one month's notice before his coolies
are discharged.
(2) No such person shall, in the absence of a written
contract authorizing him so to do and without reasonable
cause, resign his employment or absent himself from his duties
without giving one month's notice or shall neglect or refuse
to perform his duties or any of them. In like manner no
supplier of coolies or other menial servants shall withdraw
his coolies without giving one month's notice.
31. All expenses incurred in carrying out these regula-
tions shall, subject to such orders as the Governor in Council
may from time to time pass, be in the first instance paid-
(a) within municipal limits-from municipal funds;
(b) within cantonments-from cantonment funds; and
(c) in other areas-from local funds.
