The Board further enclosed a copy of a model series of
Bye-laws which they had prepared for the use of Sanitary
Authorities. A Sub-Committee was subsequently appointed
by the Public Health Committee to modify our existing

of 1894 a report of the Sub-Committee was brought up by
the Chairman, Mr. J. Alexander, that they had considered
the model Bye laws forwarded by the Local Government
Board, and made various amendments, and suggested that
the proposed Bye-laws under Section 94 of the Public Health
(London) Act, 1891, should be approved and recommended
to the Yestry for adoption, and that the necessary steps
should be taken for obtaining confirmation thereof by the
Local Government Board. Some objections were made
by the Local Government Board, and the proposed Byelaws

were further considered and reported on by the
Sub-Committee, and the Bye-laws were finally approved and
