London County Council Byelaws.
Drainage Byelaws in substitution of existing Byelaws made by the
London County Council on 6th March, 1934, were confirmed by the
Council on 14th March, 1934, and were allowed by the Minister of Health
on 28th July, 1934.
These Byelaws make provision to permit of the adoption of the

The Public Health Committee have agreed that interceptors must be
fixed on all new and reconstructed drainage systems unless the Medical
Officer of Health and Borough Surveyor are satisfied these should be
dispensed with and that plans not showing the provision of an interceptor
are to be returned by the Borough Surveyor.
