At the suggestion of the Local Government
Board I framed my draft upon the Model Byelaws,
issued by the Department, with a view
to uniformity with the corresponding section
of the Public Health Act, 1875.
In January, 1894, the recommendations
embodied in my draft bye-laws were referred
to the Solicitor, and after due consideration
adopted and sent to the Local Government
Board for confirmation on 7th March, following
which has not yet been received.
Some embarrassment has arisen from this
delay, and I venture to suggest that the
authorities at Whitehall be reminded of their
obligations in this matter, and asked to
pronounce judgment upon the draft submitted
to them at their earliest convenience.
