(4) If a method of dry rendering is used, the heads anddischarge doors of the vessels shall be of a type using gaskets,with the doors drawn tight with bolts against such gaskets, andwith packing boxes around the agitator shafts, and with vent fordrawing off condensation, so constructed that the discharge shallbe condensed by the use of cold water condensers of sufficientcapacity, and with all thereof and every other part and openingin such equipment so constructed and maintained that there willbe no avoidable escape of odors into the air.
(5) All skinning and dismembering of bodies shall be donewithin such building and in such manner and shall be so kepttherein that no unnecessary annoyance shall be caused otherpersons by the conditions or unsightly appearance of such bodiesor any parts and contents thereof; and all such bodies and allparts and contents thereof, shall be disposed of withintwenty-four hours after delivery to such plant, by some methodherein specified; except where rendered impossible by accident orother casualty preventing the operation of the plant, or exceptwhere some epidemic or act of God had caused more bodies to beaccumulated than can be reasonably disposed of within such periodof time by the continuous operation of the plant; in any of whichevents the plant shall be placed in operation as soon as possibleand shall be operated continuously until all bodies are disposedof.
(6) In the event any bodies, or parts thereof, are disposedof at such plant at any time by burning, the place and equipmentused therefor shall be so located, constructed, arranged,maintained and operated that no avoidable odors will escape intothe air; and all portions of such bodies not so entirelyconsumed, or that may be otherwise left undisposed of, shall beburied, as herein provided.
