The Local Government Board having confirmed such
bye-laws (with the exception of those referred to in the
7th paragraph), they are now in force in the district.
The Local Government Board have not yet come to a
decision with respect to the draft bye-laws as to tents,
vans, &c, submitted to them by this Board for confirmation.
The Local Government Board have also confirmed the
bye-laws made by the London County Council upon the
following matters, viz.:—
1.—For prescribing the times for the removal or carriage by road or
water of any faecal, or offensive or noxious matter or liquid in or
through London, and providing that the carriage or vessel used
therefor shall be properly constructed and covered so as to prevent
the escape of any such matters or liquid, and as to prevent
any nuisance arising therefrom.
2.—As to the closing and filling up of cesspools and privies.
3.—As to the removal and disposal of refuse, and as to the duties of the
occupier of any premises in connection with house refuse so as to
facilitate the removal of it by the scavengers of the Sanitary
Authority.
4.—With respect to waterclosets, earth closets, privies, ashpits, cesspools,
and receptacles for dung, and the proper accessories
thereof in connection with buildings, whether constructed before
or after the passing of this Act.
These bye-laws are enforceable by the Board. Copies
of all bye-laws are supplied to ratepayers free of charge
on application at either of the offices of the Board.
Clapham
Glebe Estate. An amended application having been received
for stopping up the streets and passages on the
Globe Estate, Bromell's Road, Clapham, with the view of
the houses there being pulled down and the estate laid out
in an improved manner, the Board suggested to the Clapham
Vestry, which has power to veto the proposal, that as
the scheme involved the removal of a great many houses
in the occupation of working people provision for housing
the persons displaced should be made before the streets
were allowed to be stopped up. The matter is still under
consideration.
