Municipalities Act, 1916 extend to prohibiting public prostitutes from residing in or operating brothels throughout the municipal area, provided the prohibited area is sufficiently specified and the restriction is reasonable for health and municipal order. The general bye-law power is broad, while the listed matters are illustrative rather than restrictive.
