The question was also brought before the notice of the
London County Council, who were in favour of the proposals,
and it is hoped that steps will shortly be taken for giving
effect to the Board's views.
Bye-Laws.
Legislation by Bye-laws is continually increasing, and
during the past year the Board have made Bye-laws under
the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, with respect to the
prevention of nuisances, the cleansing of cisterns, and the
keeping of water-closets supplied with sufficient water for
their effective action. The London County Council have
also made Bye-laws under the same Act dealing with the
removal of offensive or noxious matters, the cleansing and
filling up of cesspools, and the removal and disposal of
refuse, also with respect to water-closets and the accessories
thereof in connection with buildings. These Bye-laws
received very careful consideration at the hands of the
Board, who made representations to the Local Government
Board upon the subject, and after considerable amendment
the Bye-laws were approved by the Local Government
Board in the month of June, 1893.
The duty of enforcing these Bye-laws is cast by the Act
upon the Local Sanitary Authorities.
The necessity for alterations in the Bye-laws for regulating
the proceedings of the Board and its Committees has been
plainly demonstrated within the last few years, and the
question has been referred by the Board to a special Committee
for consideration and report.
